100% agree.

I never experienced this mythical speed of development of Django or Rails, and I've been using both on/off for the last 15 years. Back then I was using stuff that was quite fast for development already.

But as soon as you have something moderately sized the slowness of languages like Python or Ruby becomes a problem for running tests, migrations, debugging, increased server costs, downtime, overhead in things like queues. I worked in some quite large projects though, so maybe for small stuff they work, but I absolutely hate them for writing big apps.

Like you said, the speed of development is IME fantastic with languages like Golang, C# or Node.js, and they don't suffer from the performance issues. Lots of companies local to me moving to Kotlin as well and my friends have only good things to say.

It's just another tool - synths are computer generated as well, so what does it matter whether a computer or human decides to push the button?

At the end of the day it's humans that will use the tool and combine it how they see fit and it's humans that will decide whether it's any good or not ...

What's the legal status of ToS clauses about restrictions on what you can do with the generated audio? I'd have thought that AI can't own copyright -- what does that say about one's ability to monetize (under the free tier, say) -- are those prohibitions enforceable?

(I can make plenty of guesses myself, so I'm most interested in hearing informed replies with references rather than speculation.)
>It absolutely works. There’s a reason Nazi propaganda is banned in Germany.

You can't know that for sure. If Nazi propaganda was not banned and the Nazi never took over again then free speech would work as well. We just don't know if banning speech has made less people pro Nazi.

Stuffiness is mostly a function of humidity.

The problem with these casual discussions about CO2 levels is they don’t control for other factors. Opening a window definitely wakes you up, but is it the cold breeze or the CO2?
I don't like how anti folders Obsidian is, the whole tagging way of organising is foreign to me.
Ugh! I hate to hear that. I used to like RealBASIC, and thought they'd kept up that spirit.
"Not actively blocking IPs from an area" is a pretty low bar for "doing business".
You said if one book enters public domain then every book effectively enters public domain from a plausible deniability angle of using the one relevant book. But that makes no sense at all. Because anyone can write a book in the style of Dan Brown without infringing on his IP. You don’t need Starry Night to teach a model to make works like Starry Night. You just need a work like Starry Night. And if you want to argue that the machine can learn style better than humans for text, then how is this ever going to hold up in court as “too similar to the style”?
A lot of iMessage user angst around this boils down to "how dare other folks have the privilege of blue bubbles without paying for them"
Depends on if they implement some form of function calling, really. If something like a 7B Mistral fine-tune had access to search and various applications, I imagine it would perform fine and better than Siri.
I didn't really think about it much, I just searched for markdown editor on the play store and used the first one that worked.
Show HN: An open-source, self-hostable synced narration platform for ebooks
Hi, I made a thing! This is by far the most work I've ever sunk into a side project; I've been working on this thing for over two years, and I'm super proud of it, even though there's still a lot more to do!

Storyteller is a self-hosted platform for ebooks with synced narration. This is basically self-hosted WhisperSync, for anyone familiar with that Amazon product.

It's currently made up of two self-hostable backend systems and a mobile app for reading and listening to the books it produces. Technically it uses an open spec, EPUB 3's "Media Overlay", for syncing the narration, but very few ebook apps actually support Media Overlays, and even fewer work well and have nice interfaces.

The mobile app is available on the Apple App Store as "Storyteller Reader", and I plan to release it for Android as well early next year.

Anyway, I hope someone finds this interesting or useful!
Even if it's a slightly lesser version of their Messages app, that would be ideal. Just like their Apple Music and Apple TV apps.
There’s been too much focus on the color of the bubble, or security, or specific features.

But the real issue boils down to human in/out group dynamics. Being excluded from group chats or having people get frustrated by the lone Android user in the group are powerful forms of peer pressure. And that pressure exists because Apple has pretty clearly made the experience intentionally frustrating.

That said, in the specific feature category: lacking the ability to send a reasonable quality photo or video is also a pretty big issue in 2023.

For me, the big selling point is better quality photos/videos. Whether I get a video from a non-RCS user it looks like a VHS rip. Sure there's other apps you can use, but realistically I'm not going to convince my friend's grandma to install Signal so she can send me a 10 second cat video
Visualizing and Analyzing 68,396 NeurIPS Inter-citations
Sure, but what matters for copyright is output, not input. For now.

If we make the (poor, imo) decision to prevent training on copyrighted data, that's a restriction on the training process, not on its result.

And in the world where we're making bad decisions to put legal restrictions on the training process, "can't train on data obtained by models that were trained without these restrictions" seems on the table.
Similarities/differences with this?

Show HN: I built a Slack bot to answer the question who owns what
Hi, I built a slack bot called "whoowns". It helps remote distributed teams by answering the question who owns what straight where collaboration happens; in slack.

I've worked in a remote distributed team for 3 years and grew frustrated after so many re-orgs, people moving between teams, team name changes.. you name it!
it gets confusing knowing who owns what -- which for one makes for a less ideal oncall and often evolves into a ping pong of slack messages.

So! its free and asks for the most minimal data access that I could get down to:

some questions it can answer all in 1 place
- Who's oncall for this service?
- Which team owns X?
- I cant find which team owns X - oh its called by the another term.
- What channel should I go to to ask a question?
- What is service X?
- Where can I find the link to the runbooks?

next features i plan on working on
- connect a notion table (for those who's org chart is saved there)
- list repositories without codeowners
- search mono-repositories that are owned by multiple team owners
- list services without active oncall schedules
- and more..

thoughts? have other ideas of what you'd like to see?
there are many excellent languages that have adts (and much more) without having to deal with the borrow checker.

Maybe give ocaml or haskell a try :)
Nobody needs to know who the artist ahead of time is to connect to what they say (instrumentally or vocally). The art does the talking.

I largely agree that if you don't know anything about music but generate some stuff with a very-high-level AI tool then you are unlikely to produce anything that resonates with people for any significant amount of time.

If you do know something about music (say, producer- or other-tastemaker level) and you replace the artists with an AI tool - you could have much better luck - but I'm curious there how much longetivity you get. Could you create the next star or the next trend or will the tools not have the ability to "break the mold" in ways that really connect to audiences and new generations without being used by newcomers themselves?
Yep, I miss the days where websites said "you want to keep your citizens from accessing our site, get fucked, do it yourself, build a great firewall because we don't have to enforce your laws for you" but those days are long gone since Facebook and Google created a precedent of doing it to keep foreign markets. It's unfortunate but this is the new status quo.
This is exactly the summary of my last 6 years. So happy you could see through. Do you have any social? Would love to connect.
> The question is whether they are "doing business" in Brazil. Which clearly they were, since they just stopped.

Business implies commerce, monetary transactions. It doesn't imply access however.
True Lies was a huge hit and an Arnold movie. I’m 100% sure they have tons of 35mm copies of the whole movie, and the original negative. It would be insane if they didn’t.

By the time True Lies came out home video already existed, so Hollywood had learnt about the long tail of movies in home release.

The kind of movies we don’t have good prints for are usually either obscure, so nobody wanted to pay to keep everything in good condition, or somehow damaged, or like you said, not good films stock or just old enough damage happened.
Not only that, don’t they buy

Once two giant companies are dealing with each other it can get really complicated to cut everything off.
Only if you ignore case law. OpenAI seems to have done a lot of work around music—I now find it much harder to trick GPT-4 into outputting song lyrics verbatim.
I'm in favor of human moral development through means such as free speech. But "a sound fundamental philosophical justification" doesn't appear to have any meaning, or rather can mean anything to anyone. It can envelop humanity's destruction as easily as its flourishing, depending on where your identity lies.

I'd like to be able to deploy "natural" in defense of free speech, but I've found no substance to it. No premise beyond a personal value judgement, which I happen to share. So I default to appeals to utility.

You could read his arguments reading and watching his papers and videos. This is not an endorsement but worked on my business.

Basically the argument is that there are business cycles when companies are spending more money on products and less on services and in some crisis with services you can compensate that. There is no general advice for all companies.
I’m mixed race but have family from the other side of the border from where you are from, and I can’t stand my cousins. I feel incredibly happy not to be surrounded by my cousins. Brothers and sisters, like them or not, they are close family. Cousins for me are some sort of twilight zone where I feel nothing in common with them, don’t even like them, but have to be nice because they are “family”. I like the American way of treating cousins as essentially not real relatives. Be friends with them if you happen to get along, but otherwise they are just some random strangers

You should try shortwave.com, it’s cheaper, has a similar feature set and in some ways it’s better (the dark mode is much better, for example)
Another common reason that time goes backwards is DST. The amount of DST-related bugs that I've fixed over the years amazes me, because every single developer has moved clocks back and forth twice a year for their entire lives, bar a few years in the beginning. And even this fine article mentions the time-has-gone-back possibility yet ignores DST.
But where's the evidence it was a one line change? The assumption seems to be somebody fired up Xcode and changed some string from "heic" to "HEIC" for the giggles. There can be other causes and reasons though.
> I mean, I get that information wants to be free and all that, but publishing confidential information is a crime in most jurisdictions.

War crimes would always and forever be considered confidential information in the jurisdiction of the country that committed them, I bet. Well, better not reveal that the very moral US army is using dogs on prisoners in Guantanamo, or killing 10 civilians as "collateral damage" while bombing a single target mingling with them.

Maybe instead of crying how Assange broke the law, we can actually prosecute the people who did those atrocities and question how this is allowed to happen? Nah, let's put him in jail to rot, much like the Russians did with Navalny, an inconvenient politician, after they failed to poison him.

> Heck, even publishing your company’s trade secrets could get you imprisoned.

In civilized countries like Germany, for example, there are whistleblower laws that actually state you are liable if you DON'T report on your company's shady practices.

You should also realize that they he was detained on a made-up rape accusation, basically sending a message that whoever you are, whatever you do, they will find a way make you shut up if you are doing your job too well. Hence the toothless journalism in America.

That market share is certainly enough to warrant FTC regulation. The FTC investigates anticompetitive activity even when the perpetrator is not a monopoly.

While Microsoft had a higher market share, Windows never prevented users from installing a third-party web browser. On the other hand, Apple is actively blocking third-party SMS/MMS clients from iOS via its App Store restrictions. This factor makes it more likely that Apple will be regulated despite iOS currently having a lower market share than Windows during Microsoft's antitrust trial.
Cummins pickup truck engines tricked air quality controls, feds say
bigger than that:

- iMessage works on wifi without a cell connection

- green txts constantly break group messaging to the point where I refuse to add my friends partners who dont have iOS

- there are no abilities to admin group messaging with green txts (change the name, add/remove people, etc.)

It's not just about the color.

It’s an interesting piece. Now let’s swap out “Nazis” for paedophiles. I’ll be your bottom dollar their principled stance starts to fall apart. Platforming paedophiles has never stoppped them. In fact, it encourages them to group together.

It’s a pity this is a difficult thing to handle. Moderation decisions are hard. Very hard. But being hard has never been an excuse for not doing the thing that is hard.

Everything you say makes sense. Training is definitely more compute intensive than inference.

Training is both memory throughput and compute constrained. Much research in speeding up training goes into optimizing HBM to SRAM communication. The equivalent for your chips would be communication from the SRAM of one chip to the SRAM of another, where it sounds like your architecture has a major memory throughput advantage over GPUs. So I assume you don't have a proportional compute advantage?

By the way, it's great to see a non von Neumann architecture showing a major performance advantage in a real world application. And your chips are conceptually equivalent to chiplets; you should have a major cost advantage on bleeding edge process nodes if you scale up manufacturing. Overall very impressive!
Yes, I am confident that if I read/heard his arguments, it'd be even harder for me to argue with the idea that a diverse set of revenue streams provides more revenue stability.

> “It’s hard to add a name= tag when the shop has not hung up a sign with a name. It’s hard to add an opening_hours= tag when the shop has not posted opening hours”

Even Google Maps has this problem. There’s a lot of “great noodle shop second on left” type business names in some parts of the world. Owners often live above/behind/in the shop/restaurant and they open more or less on demand. Hours will change seasonally - if there’s customers they’re open and if there isn’t they close.

The real trick with POI data is not just the data itself but the metadata that tells you how important it is. If you know how many people are searching for a place, visiting a place, reviewing it etc then you can boost its prominence in map rendering and search results, greatly improving UX.

An ideal solution would be for all the travel, mapping apps, etc that compete against Google (TripAdvisor, Yelp, Apple Maps, Facebook, all the in-car apps, etc) to share some kind of global OpenPOI database on top of OSM that aggregates reviews, photos, metadata, etc. And also gives owners a single source of truth to update their business data, keep it updated in real time, and have it disseminated everywhere…
Sure, but there’s also the possibility that they aren’t developing the SuperUltra++
Scan resistance and loop resistance are completely different. They are also distinguished in the papers. Note that ARC has scan resistance but no loop resistance.
I don’t think any business is obliged to make their products/services interoperable. It’s their business and their decision.

That’s what I think is going on. Apple hated being on the hook for Nvidia’s terrible drivers and chipset/heat problems that ended up causing a ton of warranty repairs.

In this case they’re not a partner, they’re just a normal customer like everyone else. And if Intel comes out with a better AI training card tomorrow Apple can switch over without any worry.

They’re not at the mercy of Nvidia like they were with graphics chips. They’re just choosing (what I assume to be) the best off the shelf hardware for what they need.
Let’s swap drugs in here and see how many people are in favor of ignoring government rules to give people what they want in spite of the health problems they cause.
Okay. But you do need a legal/gov-recognized presence there. Without that, there isn't a way to be subject to their laws.

I'll try phrasing this differently: should any company be required to provide free use of their infrastructure to non-customers?
Of course it's better this way. But I don't see it possible for everyone as it's not compatible with big cities.
Yeah, the article discusses that too:

> [...] and it's unlikely that the Chinese Communist Party cares how gaming companies monetise foreign countries. Especially considering these regulations seem more like cultural browbeating than financial plays.

Still, with all the gaming layoffs this year across so many publishers, I wonder if these companies losing 20% of their value overnight will mean they have to let people go too and/or try to recoup their Chinese losses by exploiting foreign markets more. Is it gonna enshittify the Epic Game Store / Unreal Engine etc?

For example, one of my favorite games is Path of Exile[1], which was developed by an independent New Zealand dev team. But eventually 87% of the company got sold to Tencent[2]. So far they've been able to keep the monetization schemes separate, with the Chinese market having a pay-to-win model and the Western market keeping the previous "cosmetics only" model. If they lose the Chinese market, are they going to expand the P2W mechanics to the rest of us...?

Everyone pays taxes so I’m not sure why uncle Sam’s cut matters; it’s going to be nearly the same as working in a regular job.

As per your math, you added them together… percentages like that are multiplicative since you wouldn’t get taxed on the fees paid to steam, so it’s really more like $227.50 in your example. Still less than half, but all your additional fees or whatever get deducted out of the big 35% bucket.
