I purchased a vitamin c supplement that was pure white and odorless/tasteless. I posted a review and photos. Obviously fake filler of some sort, Amazon removed my review as inaccurate when it's obvious whatever was in those capsules was not ascorbic acid of any kind.

They also claimed to have zinc (greenish) and elderberry (purple). It's not safe for Amazon to let any random exporter put stuff for sale without any sanity checks.

I would encourage you to go for at least 512 internal if you can help it because the SSDs are faster. The 256GB SSD in the base model has only one storage module and operates at a lower speed than the rest of the larger drives.
I use Firefox because of the Awesome Bar. I can easily find whatever page I visited ever since it was introduced in 2008.

Ah I see, you were suggesting an existing article on Wikipedia where this information could be added. (It doesn't yet make sense, per Wikipedia policy, to create an article for XCC, for the reasons I mentioned.)

Thanks, I'll look into adding some content to the exact cover article… will have to re-watch Knuth's talk and re-read some of his book/prefascicle sections first!

For cyanide? We actually do. Cassava roots contain quite a bit of it, and they are used as a staple in some places in Africa. You can indeed can get chronic poisoning, but it requires A LOT of cyanide.

If they don't let AIs to be trained on a maximum of data as possible, those AIs will be less "good" than the ones trained without constraints like you will have in China or elsewhere, and people will mechanically start using the later.

Interesting to see this here right after finishing six of his novels. My takeaway is that Egan clearly is a talented scientist, a man of unique ideas, and not a very good writer. The books are an excuse to go into scientific minutiae, with plodding storylines and two-dimensional characters. Kept going mostly because the ideas/set-up were fascinating.
> This is a strong claim that just downloading articles into training data is what violates the copyright. That GTP outputs verbatim copies is a red herring.

It's the other way around. There is no infringement if the model output is not substantially similar to a work in the training set [1]:

> To win a claim of copyright infringement in civil or criminal court, a plaintiff must show he or she owns a valid copyright, the defendant actually copied the work, and the level of copying amounts to misappropriation.

The questions are, which parties should bear liability when the model creates infringing outputs, and how should that liability be split among the parties? Given that getting an infringing output likely requires the prompt to reference an existing work (which is what's happening in the article), an author of a work, an element in an existing work, or a characteristic/style strongly associated with certain works/authors, I believe that the user who makes the prompt should bear most of the liability should the user choose to publish an infringing output in a way that doesn't fall under fair use. (AI companies should not be publishing model outputs by default.)

This. I don't really care about cars but for household appliances there is a clear tendency towards obsolescence.

Another data point: Just replaced a washer from the early 90s (German low-price brand, "Privileg") with one from the 2010s by a higher-priced brand (Bosch). Both were used. Reason for replacement: small top-loader for larger standard washer.

Both were obviously bought used.

The newer one broke within six months. The old, 30-year old one still works. The defect was a mechanical one, not the PCB. But notably, the still-functioning washer has no digital controls.

I know, anecdata is no data.
But for this kind of appliance, I'd bet my arm that their lifetime has decreased substantially.
My understanding is that all sellers, including Amazon itself have co-mingled inventory. Therefore you can’t actually guarantee that what you’re getting is from Amazon’s stock, as opposed to some other random seller who gave the FBA warehouse a truck full of fake products.
That's just maglev, though. Nobody is asserting that maglev isn't feasible.
Calling for Amazon to be banned from selling supplements is extreme, IMO. But they should be accountable for preventing counterfeit items from being sold or marketed as the items they’re counterfeiting. In cases where the authenticity of the item has not been verified, that should be made clear to the buyer. Absence of such an indicator would mean the product is authentic (consumers should IMO be able to rely on products being what they are marketed as by default). That would put them on par with pretty much any other supplement seller, and go a long way toward ensuring people get the items they buy.
I had to look up the Blix timeline, and the article I read ( don't have the link on this machine ) says Blix was in months before the invasion and had conclusions about a month before the invasion.
NPM is a worse idea than Joe's as Joe was talking about a single community vetted monorepo. Not a free for all of individual repos.

With Joe's idea everything is up front and part of the language and not a bulletin board of packages near the checkout line at the git supermarket. This way simple stuff like isint() can make its way into the languages official standard library. This should eliminate the uncertainty of 3rd party packages maintained by a random number of individuals that can be taken down or tainted at any time.
Amazon commingles[1] inventory. So if there are N vendors selling an item, including Amazon.com, all N inventories just get mixed together at the warehouses. So if some M of those N are counterfeit, there's no way to know.

"As an example, if I sell Duracell C batteries on Amazon through their “Shipping Fulfilled by Amazon” — which I must do to receive Prime shipping designation — I need to send my batteries to an Amazon warehouse. After receiving my delivery, they will count the number of batteries, then slide the whole stock into a generic shelf labeled “Duracell C Batteries.” Any purchaser receives a Duracell C battery from that box, and thus the actual seller is unknown."

Even though it’s not strictly true, checking for recent updates is an excellent heuristic. I don’t know the real numbers, but I feel confident that in the overwhelming majority of cases, no recent activity means “abandoned”, not “complete and bug free”.
Indeed, we seem to understand each other. A very well put post of you!

I've come to appreciate these difference in later efforts to learn functional programming as a way of giving myself more tools. But for the longest time, it was very difficult for me to "get the boxes right" for what things go where. What is a module, an object, a function, a method, etc, coming from the object oriented universe.

I still have the urge to "create objects" when I conceptualise solutions and _imho_ this isn't always a good path.

These days OO exists within my horizon of tools for solving tasks. Before, it was the water, if you will. Some problems have a want for objects, others don't really.
Big blocker for me too. Would love to see support, perhaps behind some buried flag.

As a wordsmith. I like to invent fun new terms sometimes. For example: "Invent a word that's kind of like vegan but for people who only eat animals which would plausibly eat humans in nature." Response: "Predatovore".

As an emoji recommender. I don't want to sift through tons of emoji to find the appropriate one, so I just ask ChatGPT.
It does when those people who leave have a chip on their shoulder due to bad experiences with the US.

For example, the founder of Zoho (Sridhar Vembu - I actually lived in the same apartment complex in the Bay Area that he started Zoho at) has become a NatSec cabinet advisor to Narendra Modi's administration, and has a chip on his shoulder about his experience dealing with US immigration. It was a big reason he returned to India.

Wang Huning, the Chairman of the Chinese Politburo and Xi Jinping's right hand man - soured on the US after his experience dealing with the US as a student.

A good friend of mine from college in the ML space who's parents are pretty high up in the ruling party of a major SEA state has been constantly complaining to me and them about how they lost 2 chances at the F1 to H1B conversion, and every single time became more and more ambivalent about the US. They can end up returning to SEA and make a large company, but they will also have a chip on their shoulder about the US.

Another good friend of mine was an Indian national who specialized in EE and Condensed Matter Physics (semiconductors type work) - even did grad school in it at a Stanford type program. He left the US to work for a major Chinese company in SEA because immigration in the US was horrid.

Plenty of Israelis feel the same way now about the US due to similar experiences.

The US Immigration system exudes a sense of American exceptionalism because voters say "Love it or leave it". But the people who leave end up becoming successful, but still angry at how much effort and stress was expended for naught.

China is now a near peer in 2023. There's no reason to fuel anti-Americanism in India, SEA, LatAm, etc and push them to the other side.
I agree with your IANAL take, but what about a situation with an extra level of indirection? So the service never reads actual NYT articles, but only reads blog/forum posts about NYT articles, and derives what is in the article from conversations about the article by people who have read it. Is that legal now?

Maybe ask yourself why some users end up blocking you altogether. Surely you didn't start sending them newsletters or the like without being completely certain that they wanted to receive them, and you provide a simple, prominent and reliable way to unsubscribe if/when they change their mind, right?

Show HN: ReplyGuy – AI Reddit auto replies for lead gen and brand protection
Excited to share something I've been building recently called ReplyGuy. I made it to solve a personal pain with a SaaS product I built, which was that we were always monitoring Reddit and Twitter to see if anyone had mentioned keywords indicating they were looking for us. Before, we had to go manually respond to posts, often missing good mention opportunities.

Would love for HN folks to try it and let me know what you think!
If you read the complaint, it explains this pretty well. The use of copyrighted content by search engines is fundamentally different from the way LLMs use that same content. The former directs traffic (and therefore $$) to the publisher, the latter keeps the traffic for itself.

The legal misconception I want to flag in your logic is the notion that all uses of the Common Crawl are equally infringing/non-infringing. If you use the Common Crawl to create a list of how often every word in English appears on the internet, that’s unquestionably transformative use. But if you use it to host a mirror of the NYT website with free articles, that’s definitely infringement. The legality of scraping is one matter, and the legality of what you do with the scraped content is quite another.
Sad to say but I would believe a hallucination from OpenAI before I would believe anything that comes out of the NY Times. I mean the confidence interval for the NY Times is what again?

Thanks so much for that. I appreciate the honesty and clarity of the authors in presenting their findings.

Upon a very, very brief read it still seems difficult for them (in my opinion) to find that schizophrenia is primarily genetic in nature when there still could be potential causative agents that only siblings share (the same house, the same food and water, the same household/generational chemical/drug use/exposure, etc.) which may yet explain the changes/differences. I will take a closer look when I have the time and look at the wealth of references they included (they do have some pretty large studies referenced that support their findings). Thanks again.

I just want to say that while I may seemingly appear to be particularly hostile to the physical causative angle or the genetic (or predictive) angle of mental illness, I just want to clarify that this is mostly because of the fears I have about the current/near-future clinical/societal implications of this being established, in my opinion, prematurely.

There's unarguably a lot of good that research can do in this area, however, I just hope that more understanding in these areas are reflected clinically by a massive diversity of treatments. Especially, laser-focused treatments that cause minimal side effects.

I don't think there's any arguing from me that if we were able to stop the progression of schizophrenia before first-episode psychosis (especially without using anti-psychotics long-term or at all) that it wouldn't be a good thing.

Or as other commenters pointed out, to stop these people who share these markers from doing things that might worsen/manifest their illness, like cannabis. Or researchers finding out how the endocannabinoid system is involved in the illness, including potential therapies (like tackling the systemic inflammation that is common in serious mental illness).

It's just a slippery slope if we go about this in the wrong way. Like forced treatment. Or applying treatments to other differences that may not cause distress to the individuals or inhibit their functioning or participation in society (like forcibly treating high functioning individuals who are on the autism spectrum).

Or incorrectly diagnosing schizophrenia/psychosis in one person and inappropriately treating them, when in reality there were two or three distinct diseases causing a similar illness or set of symptoms. Who knows, there is a distinct lack of knowing still in this field. I just know that the profit-motive needs to disappear before true progress and medicine can happen.
I've learned a lot from Asianometry, a YouTube channel run by the son of a retired Semiconductor engineer. It's pretty good coverage of the industry, and how we got to where we are.

Hormones are incredibly potent. It is not safe to conclude that a “small amount” of residue would be safe, as that could still be orders of magnitude more than occurs naturally in a roach.
Datetimes are naive in my database. The fundamental problem with the change you recommend is that I cannot then compare those two different datetimes. For example, today I might do:

user_over_30d_old = user.created_at < datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(30)

But in the future, I would need to do:

user_over_30d_old = user.created_at.replace(tzinfo=datetime.UTC) < datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC) - datetime.timedelta(30)

Which isn't any better than the solution I proposed above, of removing UTC from the now() datetime. Alternatively, I could modify my DAL code to promote datetimes from naive to timezoned in the database at the edge of the python layer, but that would have a lot of knock-on effects in things like isoformat() now appending timezone information, which has caused issues in other broken APIs that I use.
That name is apt and functional, but after reading it I found myself saying "LinkSoapy" "SoapyLink" "LinkySoap" "LinkClean" "LinkStitch" to myself to try and find one that rolled off the tongue better. I don't think I did.

> I've seen hugely talented folk on vim/emacs/emacs+evil, and on VSCode/JB. I think was the latter tools do, it make some of the advantages of being proficient in vim/emacs/regex available with less learning curve.

Take Reddit and Hacker News as a fitting analogy, a community with a higher barrier to entry/more niche will be smaller, but the quality is vastly improved. There's still going to be people who sit in both communities, and smart people in both, but it's not controversial to say that an initial learning curve tends to attract people who can pass the learning curve and are motivated to do so. Another great example is the linux kernel development process.

> Currently there are some combinations that simply best-in-class: VSCode+TS, JetBrainsIDEA+Java/Kotlin, VisualStudio+MicrosoftGuiStuff. vim/emacs may come a long way in these areas, but cannot beat the integration level offered in these combinations.

Integration in some ways, in other ways a terminal based tool that adheres to the unix philosophy is more integrated with thousands of tools than an IDE where every tool has to be converted into a bespoke series of menu items. Just look at fzf, git, rg, etc. integrations in Vim. They are only lightly wrapped and so the full power of the tool shines through, and it's easy to customize it to your specific needs, or add more tools.

> Finally: AI will come to software devt, and I wonder if AI tools will ever be available on true open access innovated IDEs.

In the same vein, AI tools that act as black boxes and are integrated in the same transparent way as git or rg in Vim at least allow the editor to remain full transparent to the end user, and leave the complexity in the LSP or bespoke tool. I really see no difference between how AI tools will relate to editing as LSPs do today.

The GA engines in the aircraft I've flown (all Cirrus) do "just work". I have had trouble starting one once, but it was already hot and I had to fiddle with the mixture and throttle during and immediately after turnover. I have yet to encounter engine issues in-flight (but I don't have a ton of flying hours, either).

> suddenly everyone's a copyright lawyer

Roll back 20+ years ago on Slashdot and you'll see the exact same thing.

Copyright has been a hot button issue on the internet for decades. People end up thinking (rightly or wrongly) that they understand it without being a lawyer.
Defending the right of a company to profit from selling or mediating sales of products intended for human consumption, without any legal liability for their content or safety, is also pretty extreme.

Nevermind the fact that they pay no taxes, at least not here.

I only wish they would make their new rust based server available via docker(-compose) too. I have not found a working version of that yet
No, the whole UI runs on the client machine, which in X Windows nomenclature is the server.

The client application (on X Windows nomenclature), runs on the remote server and is headless.

Instead of sending streams of bytes to render text, it sends streams of encoded X Windows commands to draw the UI.

Everything else regarding compilers, subprocesses and what have you keeps running on the server, regardless how the connection is made.

Think big X Windows terminals or green/ambar phosphor terminals accessing the single UNIX server, used by the complete university department.
This is one small benefit to working on a lot of Python 2.7 software. It never breaks anymore. Of course the deps are no longer updated and security issues are starting to pile up, but if your software doesn't process the wrong kinds of untrusted input, it will sure be more reliably run in python 2.7 in 5 years than if you wrote it in some flavor of python 3.
Makes sense. If you mail a friend a clipping, or post it on the corkboard, only so many people are going to see it, but then even though posting the "clipping" to HN may feel like the same thing, it's hard to appreciate the massive change in scale.

As for ease of distribution, that might address OP's original question: It's easy to make and click an archive link, but it's a lot more effort to make or find a Pirate Bay link to another form of media, and for someone else to download and view it.
