That applies to any project you fork or build. The team working on it can change licenses or stop development at any time.

Considering how many companies depend on working with Chromium there is financial backing for funding development if Google were to go away. It is the browser in the most favorable position for if this were to happen.

Show HN: Sync your Google Calendars and avoid conflicts [open-source]
Hello HN,

I recently found myself having conflicting events between my personal and professional google calendars, which required rescheduling and was a pain in the arse on top of being a liability for future events.

After not being happy with the solutions I found, I decided to build it myself and make it open-source. It keeps no personal data of yours in the database, only the event id required to connect back the dots.

It's pretty simple:
1. Connect your google accounts
2. Pick the calendars to sync together
3. You will see "Blocker" events appearing

It's in its first version, feedback is appreciated and I'm ready to add extra functionalities depending on what the users want.

Cheers!
If you're a developer involved in testing or if you find yourself tasked with assigning test IDs to numerous elements, this extension is tailored to your needs. Especially beneficial for integrating test IDs into an existing project, the Test ID Generator streamlines the process by enabling you to effortlessly generate and add test IDs with a simple command.

For now, but seems to be planned in the future.
Sure… and so far there always appears to be a way of breaking that fine tuning; see the the recent paper on training data extraction I linked in another comment below.
I look forward to another 20 years of bikeshedding over what this manifesto actually means over doing real work.
Are you trying to learn how train LLMs or use LLMs to produce things?
Why do we think AI will have motivations like a greedy human might? Why do we think AI will have motivations at all? Why do we think such AI is a pressing threat?
It's all about to go DOWN!
No, you failed. Just like Tesla.
I agree with you in spirit, but I also can't help but think that most other internet denizens won't be satisfied with just banning the loobox aspects. most of the AAA games industry already moved past that and into battlepasses or flooding a store with direct purchase cosmetics.

It's more the nickle and diming people hate, not the actual gambling. And I don't know if we can or should regulate that.

Most big companies want compliant followers who don't make themselves, their bosses, or the company look bad. The problem is the fads of business theater: open offices, DEI, butt-in-seat mentality, multiple layers of top-down militant managers, and multiple rounds of layoffs and uncertainty are the worst.
Is there a chess game where you can toggle the level of AI with ease? I ask for my kids and myself as I am a poor chess player.
Can you expand on that? As written it's just a jeer.
I often observe that PPE compliance in the U.K. is dramatically better than it is on the continent where I live. In part I think that’s a result of the concentration of the building contractor business and the (relatively) strong enforcement of workplace regulation at sites of large construction projects.

You’d be shocked in the U.K. if you saw someone scaffolding a building without a helmet. In the EU, you’re shocked if they are wearing one.

> and with the proper key to decode it one could theoretically peer inside the black hole

I've never seen anything asserting this, and this is not what standard theories say. The idea is that with the right "key" you can recover the information that was encoded in the stuff that fell into the black hole. As far as I know there is no suggestion this gives you any information about what is going on inside it.
Any web search for 'social media mental health study' will provide as much evidence as one could possibly expect for that statement.

My dad worked construction from 15 to 65. I’m frankly amazed that he’s not developed skin cancer - he’s had a couple of suspicious moles removed.

He is also the only person I know who went cold turkey off a pack-a-day smoking habit, and years before indoor smoking bans and higher tobacco taxes. He gained a lot of weight that he’s never managed to shift, but he’s not touched a cigarette in over 30 years.

I’m sure he inhaled and handled plenty of other awful things on job sites without any pretense at PPE. He diligently wore a hard hat and steel-toed boots, and wouldn’t let any of his crews work without them. All I can guess is that he saw some gruesome, very preventable injuries, but vague figures on higher risk in old age just didn’t quite outweigh the inconvenience of PPE.
> But you never know who those 2-3 people are (2-3 people out of how many? surely there are more screwed by google). You might be one next time they decide to cancel accounts for new reasons and leave people without their stuff, there is no way to know when you're suddenly in breach of google's made up rules. And when you are, there is no recourse.

I might be, but I am not going to be flaming the shit out of Google about it. I've been the edge case many times in scenarios just like this and I knew I was taking full advantage and eventually it would have to stop. And there was plenty of notice about the rule change.

> If taking medical pictures of your child, with no intent of distributing them on the internet is not an edge case, then I don't know what to say. Maybe you work for google.

Lots of people were in roughly the same boat during COVID. There would have been thousands of people taking pictures of their child to send to doctors every day. People need non-urgent medical attention every day, that is not an edge case. Taking pics to send to your doctor during covid was not an edge case.
Cars without manual controls are closer than you think. The Waymo cars do just fine without a human driver in the seat, and before they got suspended, Cruise was just starting a pilot program with vehicles without manual controls called the Cruise Origin. Sale of such a vehicle to the general public is a ways off but for a taxi service we're pretty close.
>According to Dragon Sector, Newag entered code into the control systems of Impuls trains to stop them from operating if a GPS tracker indicated that the train was parked for several days at an independent repair shop.

Oh, that seems pretty damning. I wonder if this was a lone developer or ordered from above.

I manage a 4year old 'vanilla' typescript app at work. It doesnt't really do anything 'wild', looking at it you would think 'that could be built with anything/nothing'.
But if you check node-modules, it contains ~1500 npm packages!

Your second thought might be 'oh, its because they let themselves use a huge amount of random gizmos!'.

Nope.. the actual root dependencies are relatively small in number, maybe 30-40 core dependencies.

The problem is, that the prevailing attitude in the ecosystem is to 'just use dependencies', for anything, like lpad.
As 'I know, we'll just use the creditcard my daddy gave me'.

As long as your daddy is rich, you won't see a problem.

If your daddy isnt rich, you will notice that every 10 days as you run npm-build, it will proclaim 'hooray, there are now again 10-15 high-medium security in your 1500 dependencies'.

Combine this need to npm update continuously, with frontends happy disregard for typechecking and backwards compatibility, and you have a recipe for the plague,which we are currently living :-(
Love the idea & execution of this! It was so much fun to look back on the year on Github instead of Spotify!
On linux you can enable an option in the kernel to update microcode at runtime (late microcode loading), but this is not recommended as you have processes that started before the late microcode update and thus might have already ran into cpu bugs
I quite like the simplicity but I am especially a big fan of the standards-based development model. Will definitely try it out soonish and come back to you with some feedback.
Because you can’t stop people, companies and/or countries from creating AI with those motivations.
There is a growing body of evidence that high levels of engagement with social media is linked with an increase in risks for multiple types of psychological ailments.

Singling out Facebook is a tad unfair and causality still needs proving, but I don't think it can be called either hyperbolic or unsupported.

Nothing strange about that, but still, I was not expecting this book (and many of that era) to be gay romance.
Excellent. Now do the same with the Schwarzschild solution.

It wasn't, but they aren't forcing banks on the store either (they HAVE done it with other companies, I'm not debating that).

Even if there was a popular alternative, there will simply be apps only on one store out of convenience. Just look at the PC market.
Sorry! Just updated my comment. I was talking about usage to build products
It is irrelevant to the point I made that the average Israeli doesn't see it as overraction or that the leadership doesn't. The point is that they're demonstrating that they're either to dumb to realise what Hamas intent was (goading them into brutal violence to whip up support for further violence against Israel in return), or they're not interested in stopping the violence.

And as I point out "overreaction" was the mildest term I'd consider using. Emotionally charged would be to call it mass murder and ethnic cleansing, and war crimes. An adequate reaction would be not to brutally murder civilians and carry out extensive war crimes.

> How do you measure "over"ness of a response to mass rape and torture?

By lack of adherence to international law. By any willingness to cause mass murder and engage in ethnic cleansing.

At the very least, by the time the IDF response had led to the murder of more civilians than the attack of terrorists they are hunting, they ought to consider that it is no more morally acceptable for them to murder civilians than the other side, and they've become what they claim to want to destroy.
They'd develop the cure in the open, all their researchers will end up working for a new startup starting off as a non profit but then spinning off a for profit company which will actually make a working cure and everybody will wonder why Google lost their lead at cancer research

Thank god that is my stack :D
DRF is very dynamic. While useful, it does too much magic for my taste. Pydantic pure data models, combined with typeguard annotations do it for me. Plain functions with defined input output types. It helps validate all the assumptions and catch errors earlier.
As far as we can tell, electrons are point objects.

Why shouldn’t there be others?
you may be able to breathe one day on that aspect. Sounds like the EU is putting groundwork to do that exact thing on IOS.
If only chess were a nice allegory for life.
For those interested - just released a new blog post on all our optimizations. There are also 59 fully reproducible benchmarks! https://unsloth.ai/blog/mistral-benchmark
Looks super good !
I was going to pretty much state the same - the obvious, while also adding insult to injury by saying that with recent announces in the lats few weeks, it seems that Google desperately needs to shine in the world of AI, but fails to do so (despite 2000+ votes for new Bard, which is still not so good).

Now, from a designer perspective, honestly, I don't care too much who's the provider of the image, since one will have to anyway work more on it. So designers, illustrators, etc are not the target for such platforms, even though it seems counter-intuitive. If you ask me which system was the source for an image used for a poster last 12 months... well, I may remember, but is not of a paramount importance to the end result. After an year of active usage of DALLE2/3, SDXL, Midjourney (which is also SD of some sort) I can confidently state that there is much more work to do and a lot of prompting, to actually get something unique and something worth being used. Sadly the time taken is proportionate to working with actual real artist. Of course - the latter is likely to be hit by this new innovation, but perhaps not so much.

From the perspective of s.o. integrating text-ot-image - which is yet to be seen in a reasonable manner, like for a quest game with generative images - the API flexibility and cost would be the most important qualifier. Even then it may actually be better to run SD/XL. From cost perspective - all these services are still very pricey to be used for anything more serious than few one-shot images.
Hmm. Now I'm curious if you could actually get a 3d interface with all that information dynamically rendered running with reasonable performance on period accurate personal hardware - it's definitely in the scope of the 95 demo scene stuff.
Highly depends on the price. Currently 1600€ gets you a laptop with 8gb shared memory, which surely is a nice device for other use cases but for developing local LLMs that seems awfully limiting.

With upgraded ram (for just 230€ for each 8GB) and storage (just over 1000€ for 2tb; a samsung 990 pro is like 170€) that might be another story, but "check your specs before downloading this app" seems very un-appley. Also, no cuda support etc.
Maybe if they make it exclusive to the mac studio?

Unfortunately no, Goodreads says it’s only been translated into Korean and Chinese.

So, the solution is not to play on a battlefield where the AI has an advantage.

Instead play with humans and have fun.

Meanwhile all battlefields will one-by-one become battlefields where the AI has the advantage. Because in the end almost every contest between humans is either one based on strength or on speed and the AI will always be able to match us for speed.

And strength has long been the domain of machines, couple machines with AI and you lose all of these as well and you lose them faster.

The biggest question to me is this one: "Does it matter?" Do we really care if there is an entity that is smarter than we are? Because after all all of the battlefields are of our own making. And I think the answer is yes because the first thing that tends to happen with new tech is that it is weaponized. And weaponized AI could easily translate into dominance by whichever party gets to it first.
There are alternatives throughout Europe. The Balkans have Emag, Benelux has bol.com. I think in both regions Amazon is less popular. I'm sure there are other examples.
I’m not afraid of the motivations of a hypothetical strong AI… I’m absolutely terrified of the motivations of those who can afford to employ weak AI.

My dad, who is permanently sunburnt from his half century in construction (and wasn’t terribly into most other safety measures against abstract risks), tsk-tsks the laxity of German road crews allowing workers to wear shorts in the summer. Sturdy jeans go a long way as basic leg protection, and he couldn’t imagine any construction worker in much hotter Texas forgoing them, no matter how much they have to be yelled at about hardhats.
Thanks a lot for the kind words @zicon35! Glad you liked it.
I'm not worried about the AI, I'm worried about the people and companies that have it.
You pass a law giving a class of inspector the right to enter premises where building works appear to be progressing. You strictly limit what they are permitted to observe and record and require recording of reasonable suspicion. Refusal to grant entry is itself an offence.

Approaches like this would work but are also a huge can of worms.
Thanks gui_man!

Since we talk GH code search, a frequent issue raised on community forums is that some repos stopped being indexed, and yield 0 results. (Happened also to repos in my bigcorp).

Has there been a systemic fix for that issue, other than asking GH support teams to reindex the repo?
This type of bottom up approach is terrible idea for a fast moving area like ML. Ultimately to get a job and make money in the area, you need to solve customer problems, starting with libraries and fine tuning is what needs to happen first. However you should try to learn fundamentals as you go and when you get stuck. It will take a very long time if you have a full time job or a student studying something else and doesn't help to get a job
Of course, any system will need maintenance. My point was that you need the capacity to do the maintenance and you have to be able to do it cost effectively. That means in the case of Starlink it might actually be important to have Starship available because only this way they have the necessary capacity or cost effectiveness to maintain the constellation while using Falcons might not be good enough. I also say might, I of course don't know, I was just addressing the question why availability of Starship might be a relevant factor.
Since the 1980's there have been chess computers with levels that you could set that would handily defeat most club level chess players.

The Stockfish software from TFA is a very far removed descendant from those early dedicated chess computers and usually you can set the level of your opponent by limiting the depth of search to a certain number of ply. That alone is a powerful switch to control how well it plays.
To match the guy I was replying to, and because the USA is primarily a political, not geographical construct so it makes sense to compare it to another political construct in the EU.
It depends on if you think of IOS as a commons or as a private OS. And more and more court arguments are leaning towards the commons argument because of its market dominance in the mobile space. Becoming more regarded as a general purpose OS than "just a phone with a store hosted on it".

So IOS may one day not be considered a starbucks, but a park. And you can't hog a park to yourself
Former Bradley guy here. Like others have mentioned, it’s done far better then expected. It (along with any other IFV) are pretty much the ultimate Swiss army knife of a military vehicle. It can pretty much do almost any ground role even though isn’t insanely awe inspiring for any one. And the 25mm autocannon is prob the easiest thing in our existing arsenal we have to adapt for an anti-drone role.

And, no, that one set of photos from Ukraine of Bradleys damaged in a minefield has zero bearing pro or con given the 40 years of experience we have otherwise with it.
Whoa nice product! Sleek design!
Okay well you clearly have a great life with a lot to live for, but that's not really the case for everyone. How about you don't judge people you're calling "tradies" for how they decide to live their lives.
(Former AI researcher + current technical founder here)

I assume you’re talking about the latest advances and not just regression and PAC learning fundamentals. I don’t recommend following a linear path - there’s too many rabbit holes. Do 2 things - a course and a small course project. Keep it time bound and aim to finish no matter what. Do not dabble outside of this for a few weeks :)

Then find an interesting area of research, find their github and run that code. Find a way to improve it and/or use it in an app

Some ideas.

- do the fast.ai course (https://www.fast.ai/)

- read karpathy’s blog posts about how transformers/llms work (https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2023-01-27-the-transforme... for an update)

- stanford cs231n on vision basics(https://cs231n.github.io/)

- cs234 language models (https://stanford-cs324.github.io/winter2022/)

Now, find a project you’d like to do.

eg: https://dangeng.github.io/visual_anagrams/

or any of the ones that are posted to hn every day.

Over the years I've come to realize that every single piece of advice or opinion in software is ultimately about complexity. Either about how to control and manage it properly or a good illustration of how easy it is to weaponize it and/or get overwhelmed by it.
You don't need to resort to extremely basic non-real world examples to show how capitalism works out when we live in a world full of capitalism.
