Your question "why" is probably because you think google should know better. However, I am reminded of the post from a few weeks of the person who left google after decades of working there who claims the culture has changed and attracted more incompetent corporate, political types.

EDIT: found it, not decades but almost 2, he left after working there 18 years.

>Why is the defence industry so much more intense when it comes to checking parts?

mil-spec parts need to meet specific standards, and since there are equivalent parts that don't have to meet these standards, the possibility and incentive for mislabelling parts is quite high.
Obviously it wasn’t the right thing, as he’s back. You don’t fire someone so important for that and extrapolate it into equating human extinction. He has flaws but he seem to have the right balance between acceleration and safety, even though I’m not a fan of him gunning for regulatory capture
I clicked the link to try generating an image.

Several beautiful modal dialogs later, my Meta account has been linked to my Facebook account, my Oculus profile is now my Horizon profile, and I have chosen a publicly viewable(!?) display name for my Horizon profile (a profile for a game I have never played and never intend to play). I have been informed that my Oculus friends are now Horizon followers, given the chance to select "how social [I] want to be," asked to invite my Facebook friends to join Horizon -- and I still haven't generated an image. I almost feel like this image generator is somehow a long con to get people to update their Meta accounts.

I want to find the group of product managers responsible for this user journey and just... shake them out of it! The design you shipped is really dumb! None of this makes sense outside of Meta! There's a whole world out here! Nobody cares about Horizon Worlds!

> The incentive to write or edit might completely disappear when the information is available primarily via regurgitation.

This is a strange non sequitur. The incentive to write and edit has always been the same: you want to share information you found with the world. Information availability has nothing to do with editing incentives.

I don't even see how this has anything to do with AI. The doomerism is getting quite annoying.

I believe what is "civilian" is something that can become murky, and by justifiable I primarily just mean "logically coherent and able to be justified by a possibly different but not insane ideology"

It's obviously blatantly wrong to kill people who don't want to fight you and wouldn't have resisted. Where things get messy if those same people are providing huge amounts of tax dollars to a government that actives tries to kill or otherwise harm you, doubly so if their government claims to be representative and embrace democratic principles, and thus in theory should be acting per the will of the majority of the population (e.g. mob rule).

And, as noted with the general Human Shield meme that goes around, should you just do nothing, sitting in paralysis if responding would involve even slight harm to civilians? What if that harm will save many more of your own civilians' lives at a cost of many foreign ones' lives? As priorly noted, messy situations are common.

My conclusion is that I was not justifying attacks personally, but stating that people can justify such attacks at least enough to not imo be self-evidently completely absurd.

Moreover, please note that my original messages were in fact describing how military bombings of civilians are easily justifiable in abstract from a distance (regardless of "side"), but the context of reality and the sociopolitical situation of those living in Gaza can make it clearer to us that the Israelis don't ONLY have this option as the least-collateral way to respond, nor a lack of alternatives in general, and so I believe it does become obviously wrong. Much as the 9/11 attacks should obviously be wrong to us, and yet western governments have engaged in active conscious bombings of economic and military targets on a huge scale (and there is a parallel there -- twin towers and the pentagon, economic and military targets after all, and supposedly the capitol too had control of that last plane not been contested and crashed, so a political target too)

I like the parent comment because it made me laugh, so I was expressing my wish that it would be nice to able to appreciate them for it in some way. I used reddit's gilding feature as a shortcut to convey that wish because most people know of it and it's an easy to understand shortcut.

Because reddit is a cesspit, any feature that was associated with reddit at any point of time is not worth using to convey information? How about text quoting and reply buttons, should we stop using them too? What an absurd way to look at things.

Argument "it's just math underneath" is flawed. Photoshop also has math underneath - does it mean that if you use Photoshop, you're not doing a creative process?

Also, saying that it's math ergo it's not creative is something that most people on HN would not agree with.

As for "it's just compression" - compression means that you can recover the original data - perhaps with a loss of quality, but still you can. With modern ML you mostly can't.

In retrospect, try imagine what the WWW could have been if it were explicitly designed to model GUI applications and not textual documents…

In all practicality, seems like the world is no longer interested in publishing “text” but rather “GUI experiences.”

The example here is convincing… But just wait until the DOM elements are dynamically generated and now one has to both dynamically assign ids and re-map those textual ids back to some internal JavaScript objects.

Probably already done today, just feels like we keep insisting that a square peg fit into a round hole…

Ehhh, some guitar hoarders just like the different variations. Some actually understand the differences between guitars and have different ones for different sounds. Most studios have at least five different electric guitars not to show off, but because they need them in order to create different soundscapes. The way you can tell who a shiny hoarder is, is that they go for the extremely expensive stuff when a real player would know the cheapest possible option. I've got six guitars, each one has a specific role when recording, and I've never paid more than $200 for a guitar. I've got a friend who has nine guitars, costing between $500 and $2,000, and they can't play anything they didn't learn from a chord chart off Ultimate Guitar.

The same thing applies to synths. Everyone wants a $5,000 Juno-60 when you can get the same functionality out of a cheap $450 CS Reface. Or to go even cheaper, a $100 pre-amp, $100 used PSR keyboard, and access to VST4Free.

Those are two messaging apps regular people can actually name, unlike all of Google's messaging apps. MSN Messenger survived 13 years supposedly. Skype was also a big thing for several years MS owned it.

This is why I really hate it when people pick dumb names like this, which seem to assume that all progress will completely stop after they finish building this thing.

Look at Windows NT, for example: NT stands for "new technology". Well it obviously isn't new any more.
I think it's not that hard - I have configs and I even build Postgres from source so I can get the same version in dev environments supporting Linux and MacOS.

Not really, the skill required to do a photoshoot is just copy paste and a bit of the healing brush tool. This is considerably easier than a deep fake. I also disagree with the idea that quality is superior. Resolution is lower, and the seams are often visible. Though ultimately this is subjective: is a high resolution still "better" than a low-resolution video?

The core complaint about deep fakes is, word for word, the exact same complaint about Photoshop: someone might use a computer to produce a image with someone's face pasted onto another person's body (presumably naked and doing a sexual act). People could - and no doubt some did - Photoshop classmate's faces onto nude women's bodies.
Ask HN: Any Browser developers out there?
I’m looking to get my foot in the door working on Chromium or other browser projects, ideally on layout engines.

My work experience is mostly C# but I’ve used C++ primarily back in Uni and a little at my first job in embedded systems.

What are my first steps to making this movement? I’m currently working in cloud automation.

People tend to say “just contribute” but I’m always skeptical about if that would work. Let alone if I’m smart enough to even get hired by Google or any company that works on browsers. I didn’t go to a prestigious school and don’t know a lot about Big O. I wasn’t passionate about math in college but I’m willing to learn now if that’s what it takes.
> For that reason, I created a proof-of-concept tool called polyglot that can scan C++ code and generate wrappers for use from Rust and D.

That's just as interesting, IMO. I had been expecting some sort of bespoke Makefile that hacked together a bunch of programs together.
Allowing the board to control AI safety is BS. Is like ethics, the engineer is usually imbued with ethics when they work at any firm. It’s that simple, you work at an airline manufacturer, your duty is to not cause harm, test properly, it’s no different with AI. The engineer understands this more than any board member getting paid to do nothing.
The faster javascript runtime was what made it a success IMO.
>The embarassing part is that the board decided to fire the CEO, announced their decision, refused to say why, attempted to put in place a new CEO but had to immediately demote the new CEO (Mira) after she rejected their plan, upset and alienated their core partners, along with almost all of their employees, and then publicly backtracked to undo the firing that led to this all happening.

I'm reminded of these great PG tweets:

>When people criticize an action on the grounds of the "optics," they're almost always full of shit. All they're really saying is "What you did looks bad." But if they phrased it that way, they'd have to answer the question "Was it actually bad, or not?"

>If someone did something bad, you don't need to talk about "optics." And if they did something that seems bad but that you know isn't, why are you criticizing it at all? You should instead be explaining why it's not as bad as it seems.

https://nitter.net/paulg/status/1728015636771504300#m

The situation is similar if you criticize an action on the grounds that "it upset people". If the action was actually bad, you should be able to explain why directly.

Here are some quotes from the OpenAI charter:

>We will attempt to directly build safe and beneficial AGI, but will also consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others to achieve this outcome.

>...

>Our primary fiduciary duty is to humanity.

>...

>We are concerned about late-stage AGI development becoming a competitive race without time for adequate safety precautions. Therefore, if a value-aligned, safety-conscious project comes close to building AGI before we do, we commit to stop competing with and start assisting this project.

https://openai.com/charter

And here's a quote from the OP:

>In October, Toner, who is director of strategy at a think tank in Washington, D.C., co-wrote a paper on AI safety. The paper said OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT sparked a “sense of urgency inside major tech companies” that led them to fast-track AI products to keep up. It also said Anthropic, an OpenAI competitor, avoided “stoking the flames of AI hype” by waiting to release its chatbot.

>After publication, Altman confronted Toner, saying she had harmed OpenAI by criticizing the company so publicly. Then he went behind her back, people familiar with the situation said.

Who is doing a better job of upholding the charter in this situation: Altman, or Toner?

The "people are upset" criticism essentially states that people became upset when Toner attempted to actually uphold the charter. To me, that says more about those people than it says about Toner.

technically they tossed it onto the earth's core, which is estimated to be around 5000°C. though even if it had been a (completely uncovered, unrugged, and un-folded-up-sweatered) tile floor, i would absolutely expect most manufacturers' phones to hold up just fine at that height...

to get serious for a moment though, id like to go against the anti-glass grain by pointing out that supposedly, successive generations of Corning Gorilla Glass get stronger by some multiple each time, yet we see phone screens smashing with the same regularity because manufacturers are just using thinner panes each time (probably chasing thinner phones more so than some kind of planned obsolescence conspiracy, although both explanations are credible). so we end up with a tradeoff between thickness, durability and glass backs, but that beats having to rule out durable phones with glass backs entirely from being able to exist
Well, yeah, that's why I mentioned other electronics instead of biodegradables. Is there something especially bad in the raw materials of phones that older bigger electronics didn't have?

Within Polish (European?) legislation, an agreement on use of copyright needs to explicitly state in what areas you are allowed to copy/use the copyrighted work. So, e.g. if an agreement didn't explicitly state that a company can use the work in TV (or Radio, or sth), then they don't have the right to do so.

When new mediums are invented (like internet), you need to sign an annex to the agreement extending it to this medium.

Having said that, I would still consider it a fair use to train model on given images, but using the trained model to replicate a specific style etc, would most likely be considered a new medium. (IANAL though)
"In 2021, Greenidge Generation, a Bitcoin-mining and power-generation company gained global attention for allegedly discharging large volumes of hot water into New York's Seneca Lake. The company had repurposed a once-abandoned power plant for Bitcoin mining in 2019, leading to increased carbon emissions and water usage. Residents raised concerns that the warm water discharges were heating Seneca Lake to beyond state water-quality standards. In 2023, environmental groups sued Greenidge Generation for violating the Clean Water Act and other environmental regulations, though this lawsuit was dismissed in the same year."

Even with the so-called "substantial reserves", California is fucked. And this story effectively sinks Newsom's POTUS chances for a cycle or 2.

And for that definition to be stable over time.

Things change. When it's a greenfield project, the quality focus is on developer experience and getting that MVP out the door. Once it's an established project, the quality focus is performance, security, regulatory compliance, etc. The very notion of quality changes depending on the lifecycle of the project. The environment you wrote your code in will not exist for long! New bugs, new priorities, new business pressures, new features, cross-functional changes to support other projects, tech integrations, refactors ... the long-term success of a software project is overwhelmingly defined by its ability to handle changes gracefully.

There are two philosophies on how to tackle this:

1) Invest now in quality: hope that you've anticipated most of the future pressures and that your efforts are not wasted. Knowing why other software projects fail gives you a roadmap to avoid the same problems.

2) Invest later in quality: hope that, if the project is a success, it will provide resources to iteratively improve quality. Knowing that most software fails, it makes sense to invest only after it's achieved a modicum of success.

Sounds like you're firmly in camp #1 and your org is in camp #2. Both camps agree the goal is reasonable quality + high perceived end user value ...you could approach the conversation as a (constant) negotiation to define what "reasonable" means. But always keeping in mind that your personal definition of quality is subjective and subject to change.
