Piracy isn't stealing, it's copyright infringement. The copyright lobby overplayed their hand with those infamous cringey "you wouldn't steal a car" ads, and trying to claim that every copy made of their product was a "lost sale".
did you also compare how it runs with a larger model like GPT4?

I'm curious if the experience was significantly different for confined use-cases like this
I think that point is kinda wrong. Maybe there aren't a lot of markets for GPT-4 to disrupt, but that's not to say there aren't a lot of markets (and lucrative ones) for GPT-10 to disrupt. If we could jump straight to GPT-10, sure, that'd be great, but obviously getting there is an iterative process.

Whether or not we'll get to a hypothetical GPT-10 (and beyond) is another question.
It seems to me this house of cards only illustrates how fragile our software infrastructure really is. One has to question its fitness for purpose.

No doubt this episode will give those with evil intent another avenue to explore.

I wonder how long it will be—or what it would take—for governments to recognize the unfairness of current copyright/IP laws and that the abuse of them by the corporate sector has to stop.
In the US, does it even matter? Even debit cards support running as credit cards there. It’s not like here in the EU where “debit card only” is a totally different card with a bank account number instead of a credit card number.
There's a GitHub issue on the repo that explores this!
Random flavorful LLM stories that doesn't fit in the world will feel even worse than the bland auto generated quests we currently have. Bad writing is far worse than no writing.

You would need to interface it with the environments etc, so that the LLM has something to work with. I could see LLMs generating good quests when each character has as much data as in Dwarf Fortress for example, but then you would need to do the work to add all of that.
no such thing as a free market
Exactly right. I think we are incredibly far from that breaking point, and what Google is doing is chasing growth for their shareholders more than anything else, especially at the end of the free money era.

The platform itself may be replaced but the incredible result of the YouTube platform is that there are millions of excellent creators who are making a living by making their videos, and even making enough to keep raising the bar on their work.

It's not a given that growing such a swelling stream of creative work will ever again be possible if this one dies out. YouTube was in the right place at the right time with the right subsidization available while they made the systems work at scale, and scale them up to insane hyper scale levels. This happened because of the advertising bubble, which is showing heavy signs of stress especially in the last few years. Society is already pushing back against the data collection that makes advertising at these scales as lucrative as it is, and if the bubble finally pops it's possibly it'll never inflate this way again.

This is why it's important to support the small creators you enjoy in some way. Direct contribution is certainly the best of them all. Sure this might not be relevant for superstar YouTubers, but take for example Technology Connections. Alec is an amazing communicator who puts insane effort (full time) into producing super informative videos about electronics and engineering.

I think no, no ai winter.

I see it white and black (yes, no shades) mostly because of the hype cycle.

Bitcoin.. everyone shouted like hell.. no one needed a solution because no problem. Hype cycle did apply fully.

As a teenager, I was enjoying Sciences classes, but not Philisophy at all at that time, I was really lagging behind in maturity, of course now 20 years later it's different.

I guess I could make the on-screen keyboard work with a text area instead of needing an external one, but I never planned on using that, I find “glass keyboards” annoying to use. It would require some serious changes to the system though, since everything is designed for reading input from a keyboard from “stdin”, so to say.

So far has survived fine, and as long as there are no major changes in the browser (long polling and the JS I use have been available for several years from what I have seen in people who investigated its features). It’s a risk I accepted when I wrote it, worst case the docs are in the Pi, and then PiWrite can be used from any web browser on any modern enough device.

GPL or Apache license for an upcoming PySide2 project?
Afternoon Folks,

For my upcoming side project (for which `PySide` has been aptly chosen!), a desktop productivity app with features like milestone tracking, brainstorming, some motivational stuff, etc., I'm somewhat confused about the licensing part.

I was decided on Apache 2.0 license so far as I like their focus on merit based process, plus they actually seem to create a ton of software as an organization, it's not just a license. I like the GPL philosophy too but I'm more of a utilitarian than philosopher and the GPL folks seem to be ever more preachy about Stallmanian ethics than about the technicality of coding programs and developing apps (where I'm more interested as a utilitarian/engineer).

But it seems I may have to bite this thing and go with GPL here considering that though PySide2 itself is LGPL, it turns out that some underlying core Qt components[1] are indeed still GPL licensed, these are addons such as *QtCharts* which I'm definitely going to need for displaying charts in my GUI. Unless there is a way to use matplotlib effectively with PySide2 which I don't know about?

Being a utilitarian engineer, I'm a pragmatist too and in that sense, won't really mind which license is used in the end, as the end goal here is to create something useful for the human's desktop, not to get intertwined in open source licensing debates.

I have a slightly longer term vision with this project and all I want is that going forward, I shouldn't be restricted from using some useful component or tool or library just due to licensing issues. From that perspective, are permissive or copyleft licenses a better candidate to license your open source projects? And which one would you suggest?

Syncthing has been so good. It's a little finicky to setup, but it literally never fails after that. It's quiet magic!

That replicates things across devices. For actual backups I'd use rsync, mostly because I already have all the scripts to make progressive backups with hard links.
These are fair criticisms of the proposal. A similar but more workable path would be a constitutional clause to 1. limit the concept of property to scarce goods and 2. outlaw the creation of legal mechanisms like copyright.
We don't really know what the actual implementation looks like, so I find it hard to make a definite judgement. I think the refactoring introduced by the author probably wasn't good, because it looks like a very brittle abstraction. But I find it hard to believe that among those 10 lines of maths each, there aren't any functions one can extract that form some natural abstraction (e.g. "translate vector" or whatever), so that every handle function ends up being maybe 1 or 2 lines instead of 10.

You're free to not eat the chocolate, but are you suggesting that it's the chocolate's fault for existing, and that chocolate should go away so you aren't tempted?

I'd assert that a lot of content on YouTube is not chocolate. There are high quality "healthy" options right there on the app. How about Technology Connections or the 4 hour long retrospectives on your favorite book, film, or video game? What about the years of technical and learning content? Those aren't chocolate, those are spinach.
It looks extremely similar to me. I would not be pleased if I was behind Bun.
> No Israeli government has yet offered the Palestinians a sovereign state.

I'm not sure why you think that, that's exactly what the peace process of the 1990s and early 2000s was about. E.g. the Camp David Summit.

> If you go back and read about the history of the Oslo process, the Israelis systematically reneged on their promises throughout the 1990s. The PLO made major concessions which were not reciprocated, and it ultimately got nothing.

That's not at all true. The Palestinian Authority was formed and given control in the West Bank, independently of this Israel left Gaza and gave Palestinians control there. The peace process broke down in part due to the terror attacks that were happening in Israel, many carried out by Hamas in order to stop the peace process.

> But the desire to have all of historic Palestine is fundamental to Zionism, and Israel never intends to leave the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Some people in Israel certainly think this. Not a majority of Israelis. And the peace processes did offer land to the Palestinians including the WB.

I'm not saying Israel has done everything right, it's certainly done a lot of things wrong, and the for the last fifteen years has done things against the peace process. But it is still a true fact, attested to by people involved in the peace processes, that Israel did make offers, the Palestinians did reject them and walk away. And that has happened multiple times, including the founding of the state of Israel. (People like to relitigate this one, and there's certainly a compelling reason that Palestinians disliked the UN's partition plan - but it's still a fact that the Palestinians and Arabs generally rejected the peaceful offer, chose war instead, lost the war, and therefore lost more territories than they could've had had they accepted the partition plan to begin with.)

We need a figure head with a strong moral and ethical compass who lives in private as if they are in public. Whom is capable of addressing all situations with grace, elegance, respect, compassion, and humility in that order only in reverse. One whom is frugal, well read, and courteous. One whom in being frugal is able to think of all and is able to stand fast in the face of corruption as they deep down truly experience the interconnectedness of life and by proxy society… and through experiences, travels and interactions has attained a working understanding of the all pervasive ripple effect.

Oh yeah, and this person has to be willing to martyr themselves as the public life sucks!
Work in smaller increments. It's easier to finish and deploy a lot of small changes than to try and close a giant series of interdependent changes. Aim to return to a finished/deployable state as soon as possible.

Sometimes you just have to write down the broken stuff you find while working, and address it later. In the moment it might seem high priority to fix it, but once it's on the same todo list as everything else, you realise that it doesn't matter so much. Time makes task priority more obvious.

As far as I’m aware, the reason why the UK retained Ottoman real estate law in Mandatory Palestine was pragmatic rather than due to any international obligation that they do so-all the existing land titles were based on Ottoman law, changing them to a different system of real estate law would have involved a lot of work for little practical benefit, so the British decided to leave the existing Ottoman system in place. But, if they’d felt strongly enough about it, they could have done otherwise

I work in AI research in the Bay Area where hustle culture is strong. OpenAI and hot startups have normalised working long hours and taking few vacations.

Hustle is great if you have a well defined, measurable objective. With such an aim it is easy to keep track of your progress over time and maximize your work.

But when you want to do research, design great composible systems, be creative, write good code, it is better to do it casually. With such endeavors the goal is not well defined or measurable. Pressure to be productive or have demonstrable results often leads to myopic thinking, local minima, unsustainable designs, technical debt and spaghetti code.

I haven't quite been able to capture why there exist these two modes. The moment I try to talk about the creative type of work my colleagues look at me like I'm making excuses or that I'm a slacker.

> The social graph lock in problem is well documented and well understood.

i don't actually think it is. i don't know _anyone_ who uses just a single messaging app (and thereby a single protocol-level social graph). i have some mental map in my head: "if i want to reach friend A, i do it on Signal. friend B: Discord. friend C: SMS/tel/PSTN. friend D: Matrix". i think this is a pretty common experience these days: i'd hazard that my mix of 4 apps is on the _small_ side.

i admire Beeper, JMP.chat, and other groups trying to improve messaging via better abstractions. i think it'd be cool if they could maintain iMessage support, i also think it's not critical to their success. the pain points caused by that graph problem you point to is 1) maintaining that mental map and 2) coordinating large group chats. i don't see that the client-side/Beeper-style solution to this is notably worse if they support only 29 protocols instead of 30: for as long as my peers are reachable by more than one messaging app, the odds of bridging between them isn't radically different.
Are you serious? They were attacked first and invaded, experiencing the equivalent of Pearl Harbor + 9/11 together in relative terms, or in absolute terms the 2nd worst terrorist attack EVER. Entire communities viciously wiped out, and hundreds of hostages taken, followed by a barrage of thousands of rockets on the cities of Israel.

I'm at a loss of words. What kind of explanation are you missing?
So only people with role models close to them or in a place where inspiring things are happening should be inspired?

Before YouTube and the Internet in general, only affluent people had these things, and we left behind a huge portion of the worlds population. Those people have the same potential as people of means or the luck to be born in an affluent country or an urban area.

I do get that you also include reading things on the Internet, but that's not always engaging enough to create a spark for people.

> The issue here today is an incredibly high civilian to justified target ratio despite having centimeter precison targeting and high resolution overview of the region of interest.

You don't know what the civilian to justified target ratio is. I don't know it. No one in the world really knows, except the actual IDF. Their estimate, last I heard, is about 2 civilians killed for every militant killed. Which is awful, but is more-or-less in line with similar wars carried out by Western countries in the past, as far as I can tell.

> The issue here today is an incredibly high civilian to justified target ratio despite having centimeter precison targeting and high resolution overview of the region of interest.

You make it sound like a lot more precision is possible than I think reality warrants. According to Israel at least (and backed up by the US), Hamas militants are hiding in civilian clothes among civilians. No overview of the area and no GPS makes it easily possible to tell them apart.
COP28
I would very much prefer to use something other than WhatsApp (especially as Facebook has banned me for life from all their other apps), but my attempts keep failing.

My wife won't use Signal because it includes a crypto wallet and crypto transactions are taxable.

Matrix/Element would be my preferred option, but it causes so many security or encryption related issues that it has scared off everyone I tried using it with. Nobody knows what to do with the incessant popups demanding to "verify" something or other. Nobody (including myself) knows why older messages often can't be decrypted.

Telegram is less secure than WhatsApp.

Threema is not free, which makes it difficult for me to ask people to install it. It's not open source either.

iMessage is Apple only.

So what's left besides WhatsApp?

Many of us rarely follows links.
There's also the ability to pre-provision your runners with all of your base container images. Base images don't change that often and can be large. At an AI startup I worked at, self-hosting runners that used our own AMIs saved us a lot of time and egress costs, because so many CI steps begin by pulling some image, whether it be the base image or one you built at a previous step and pushed to your container registry. We also ran CI steps on some projects that required ARM or GPU. You also have the option of keeping a runner up during the busiest part of the day to benefit from cached images. We'd automatically rebuild the runner AMIs once a week and set runner lifetime to max 24 hours, ensuring freshness and ensuring that we didn't run into disk space issues.
I have one comment, and I hope it's not rude: There is too much text. Everywhere where you can put text, the author put a lot of it. Sentence after sentence, rambling on. Coherently so, most of the time, sure, but just one after the other and not a single relevant screenshot for the first thousand words.

Something is not right here. Either this is a joung enthusiastic coder, which is probably the case, or there is so much text in order to convince you to try it.

The readme even has an about me section where the author introduces himself.

For some examples, scroll to random points in the readme and read a few paragraphs, then repeat what you just read.

Hustle is great if you are going to make 8 figures if the startup you work at ipos. Your roi doesn't really change at big companies. might even be negative in the cases where they freeze raises (msft and others).
