SciHub was an early warning, IMHO, that there's a strong risk of the first world fumbling the ball so badly with IP that tech ecosystems start growing in the third world instead. The dominant platform for distributing scientific journal papers is no longer Western. Maybe SciHub is economically inconsequential, but LLM's certainly are not!

Imagine if California had banned Google spidering websites without consent, in the late 90's. On some backwards-looking, moralizing "intellectual property" theory, like the current one targeting LLM's. 2/3rd of modern Silicon Valley wouldn't exist today, and equivalent ecosystems would have instead grown up in, who knows where. Not-California.

We're all stupidly rich and we have forgotten why we're rich in the first place.

Yes. TikTok shows live streams that get more engagement to more people. Algorithmically.
Basecamp (neé 37Signals) are in a significantly different position than many companies in two ways:

- Unlike most B2C companies, they have effectively zero unpaid traffic. Ad supported content needs to scale far higher to be able to make useful revenue.

- Unlike many B2B companies, they have remarkably low compute/storage needs. They're not doing ML, they're not doing anything with video or images, they're not doing anything to serve end customers at scale, they don't have any low latency requirements, they don't have uptime requirements, they're not doing builds. They're a CRUD app. This is not to say there aren't hard problems and not to down play their good solutions, but compute is just not one of their major problems and likely never will be. Their scaling will therefore be much slower. They are about the best fit for bare-metal as there can be.
Most times, the answer to these types of questions on hobby projects is that the maker either knew more about Pies than Arduinos, or simply had a Pi lying around and not an Arduino in their home when inspiration struck, heh.

I've certainly been guilty of doing something "a worse way" simply because it's what I first thought of and was available to me, and you gotta strike while the mental iron's hot.
Veritasium is much better than Shakespeare. If you dropped his videos 500 years ago it would have caused a minor revolution.

Well there is a problem with that but I will leave it to others to work out what the problem is. (Hint: How do you measure programming ability without, you know some sort of measurement. :)
I’d like a productive comment if you have it.
It definitely is. It seems impossible to enforce but high-profile Koreans have been nabbed for things like, use of Adderall. I cannot remember her name, but a K-Pop singer got snagged for her use of Adderall in the states.

I find that Koreans can be surprisingly snitchy. For instance, garbage snitches. A lot of Koreans seem mortally afraid of accidentally throwing away plastic because neighbors would (and do) look at their trash and will report them to authorities for it. They can receive a hefty fine as a result.

A big part of the Lee Sun Kyun "scandal", less reported in the US media, is the fact that he was blackmailed by an escort. Having known very little about this, I thought he committed a mortal sin, but upon reading the allegations.. while they may look bad.. and they are really bad for his family.. they were at the very bottom of the totem pole of vice-seeking behaviors. They're not remotely reason for one to take their life over. Which leads to a broader discussion about Korea.The fact society in Korea makes suicide seem like a better option than the reputational ruination for the violation of what are essentially Christian-conservative values is a shame.
> Critically the question is, did the developers put reasonable guardrails in place to prevent it?

Why? If I steal a bunch of unique works of art and store them in my house for only me to see, am I still committing a crime?
Which could increase the risk for autoimmune disease. Current immunotherapy treatments for cancer that I'm aware of have to be carefully monitored so they don't kill the patient.
> It's also not some obscure hidden setting to choose a different delivery pathway in the Messages app: it's one button and the -only- option on the screen when choosing a recipient.

Really? On iOS 17, when I choose a recipient in the Messages app, I can indeed select the dropdown and choose a phone number or email. I cannot choose a phone number that is associated with iMessage but ask for SMS.

But it’s much worse than that. Once I select a phone number or email and start a conversation, it’s very difficult to tell which selection was made. (In fact, I’m not sure a reliable way to tell is wired into the UI at all.)

In Apple’s very very slight defense, I don’t think this is an intentionally anticompetitive design. I think it’s merely a very poor design. I somewhat regularly have problems getting messages to work right even when all parties have iPhones. It’s damn near impossible to debug, and even fixing it once debugged is hard because you can’t change the settings after starting a conversation and because you can easily end up with multiple apparently identical simultaneously existing conversations, involving exactly the same contacts but different endpoints (emails/phones), some of which work and some of which don’t. And this happens even when literally every involved device is made by Apple, running the latest OS.

iMessage’s user identifiers are just utterly crappy.
From my experience, this is a natural reaction at first, but there aren’t that many use cases that warrant global styles when you’re working in a component-oriented framework.

Passing props or using state is the way to tell a child component to dress differently, even though it sometimes gets burdensome. Anytime I tried using global styles, at some point something went haywire I didn’t account for.
On the other hand, for styling HTML generated or fetched from somewhere (e.g. CMS content, rendered Markdown), it’s obviously necessary.

The real eggman
I agree that social media can be a very bad addiction but calling it worse than most drugs is a leap.

Physical drugs damage organs, cause cancer, leave you with lifelong physical cravings, and go as far as causing death directly.
From what I have heard: If you test positive for illicit drugs, they test your entire phone’s contact list, too.
Or the camera in the great pyramid…3 hours of opening a door, entering a tunnel only to find another door.
Wow! I hadn’t heard of color-mix, great article!
Considering they are known to simply prowl the neighbourhood and kill wildlife out of boredom is more than enough reason to not do this.

Perhaps if you live on a farm. Then at least there's a reason to keep mice and birds out of the barn.
They probably aren't drug testing every reentrant. But if you come back, commit a crime (car accident, assault, etc) and test positive, you can't say "well, I smoked weed when I was in Amsterdam last week".

In the US, CANZUK, etc that's a totally valid defense as those nations don't really have extranational laws on the books outside of tax, underage sex and human trafficking related ones. And even those are difficult to trigger, with the prosecution needing to prove that you traveled to another nation specifically to commit those offenses.

The other obvious case would be South Korean nationals (especially celebs/influencers) doing drugs and posting it on social media.
The CFAA is overbroad and remains unclear with respect to "without authorization, or exceeds authorized access" even after the 2021 Van Buren v. United States ruling. But Beeper Mini doesn't damage or destroy any files on Apple's servers, so I think the CFAA doesn't apply [1]:

> The majority also recognized that the portions of the CFAA that define damage and loss are premised on harm to computer files and data, rather than general non-digital harm such as trespassing on another person’s property: “The statutory definitions of ‘damage’ and ‘loss’ thus focus on technological harms—such as the corruption of files—of the type unauthorized users cause to computer systems and data,” the Court wrote. This is important because loss and damage are prerequisites to civil CFAA claims, and the ability of private entities to enforce the CFAA has been a threat that deters security research when companies might rather their vulnerabilities remain unknown to the public.

The relevant text of the CFAA is 18 U.S. Code § 1030(a)(5) [2]:

> (A)knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer;

> (B)intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, recklessly causes damage; or

> (C)intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage and loss.

These are Raspberry Pi Picos, they are embedded type devices and not the usual Pis you're used to. The keyboard I'm using right now uses the same chip (RP2040) as the Pico, runs QMK and seems to be more performant (flashes faster anyway) than the normal microcontrollers you tend to get in plancks and the like.

It is horrible that a platform like TikTok exists to help people indulge in this sort of harmful behavior.

However, it is also horrible that something has happened in our society that has created enough completely lonely people that providing a platform for parasocial relationships is, like, a viable and wildly successful business model.

My experience is that 90% of the work on these projects is integration: getting the toolchain working, and all the pieces talking. If there were an easy-to-use digitizer and a documented toolchain, I'd buy a LilyGo T5 right now.

Without that, I suspect I'll never get around to making one work, and I'm not buying another half-started project.

As a footnote, 50% of the remaining work is on the stupid stuff like cases and power supplies. I'm glad you did that. But if you ever sell this as a device, consider provide a variety of cases for different use-cases (desk stand, wall mount, metal box with room for other stuff, etc.) and your sales will double.

As a footnote, I like when devices are compatible with something standard, like a Micro:bit or a Circuit Playground. That guarantees a basic working toolchain for at least getting code on, as well as a support ecosystem.
Based on this book I named my Siamese cat Mau, after the feline incarnation of the sun god Ra. As a bonus, he was the only cat who could say his name.

Do people ever get tired of this argument that relies on anthropomorphizing these AI black boxes?

A computer isn't a human, and we already have laws that have a different effect depending on if it's a computer doing it or a human. LLMs are no different, no matter how catchy hyping them up as being == Humans may be.
Show HN: No Code 3D World Builder – create immersive experiences easily
We've built a drag-and-drop tools that helps people create immersive experiences with no need for technical skills.

The idea is to democratize the creation and showcasing of 3D content (think creative portfolios), and make this technology accessible to designers, educators, content creators, gamers, and truly anyone interested in virtual spaces.

It would be amazing if we could get your opinion on the user experience. Some things to look out for:
1. Easy of use: the drag-and-drop functionality, maybe even playing around with the SDK we provide for more customization.
2. Accessibility: the builder should work on all browsers and users should be able to access experiences on all devices (through a URL we give you).
3. Creative Flexibility: are there enough templates and customization options? how can we enhance the game library?

Pro Tip: you can add a URL to any asset in the 3D world for redirecting users to your website, e-commerce platform, etc.

Let me know what you think and ask any questions please! I'm happy to discuss any thoughts and ideas.
it's blowing my mind one of the (let's face it) best countries in the world treats people like shit for daring to help themselves. How is it better to be a big pharma slave for life?
George R. R. Martin authored A Game of Thrones, but lost in-court against Google when Google Books reproduced parts of his text verbatim: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors_Guild,_Inc._v._Google,....

No piracy or even AI was required, here. Google's defense was that their product couldn't reproduce the book in it's entirety, which was proven and made the prosecution about Fair Use instead. Given that it was much harder to prosecute on those grounds, Google tried coercing the authors into a settlement before eventually the District Court dropped the case in Google's favor altogether.

OpenAI's lawyers are aware of the precedent on copyright law. They're going to argue their application is Fair Use, and they might get away with it.
I doubt sitting motionless with your head at a 45* angle for hours is good for your physical well being either to be fair
Do you really think the commenter meant to use moot to mean “purely academic?”
Maybe Bard's apparent "behindness" is less about Google's technical merits or lack thereof, and more about it being built with a sense of legal maturity that the competitors don't yet have. After all, Google must have some experience in this space, and we've seen them simply refuse to deploy Bard in regions where (presumably) there is too much legal uncertainty. If 2024's Gemini performs similarly to GPT4 while also navigating legal landmines, maybe it comes out ahead.

Or maybe Bard's lawsuit just hasn't come yet.
I disliked it at first too but now I consider migrating to such solution.

I am starting to tolerate CSS as a set of style properties, but I still hate CSS as a stylesheet files with various rules with unclear dependencies. Very quickly they become extremely brittle. It is also hard to modularize them in any sensible way. Unless your web app is one SPA with one set of CSS files any change is risky and may affect multiple pages in surprising ways.
This comment is just sad. What are you even talking about? Have you ever seen a 1 year old

Why would Trump refuse to debate?
Gebru and her "Stochastic Parrots" did a big disservice to AI safety turning the debate into a shit-show of identity politics. Now she has her own institute, it was a move up for her career. Her twitter spats with Yann LeCun were legendary. Literally sent him to educate himself and refused to debate him.
It sounds like the accusations and investigation drove him to kill himself. The entire country should be ashamed.

Any war on drugs is a crime perpetrated by the government against its people. It is persecution and punishment for something that should be treated as a medical condition.

> TBH I never really tried neovim, maybe because I like the start screen of vim? The idea of doing something for orphans may be cheezy, but I really like the message!

Ha, I like that! Personally I hide the home screen but I can get behind that and have donated to Vim before.

> Also why did you attempt to switch to neovim? I don't feel any limitation in vim. I'd be curious to know why you tried.

The first time years ago, was the try out the async stuff, then Vim got it so I switched back. The second time was very recently. I'm primarily a web developer and write a lot of Elixir. The Elixir community is rallied around NeoVim so the experience is quite a bit better. The maintainer of elixir.vim doesn't even write Elixir anymore (though he is very attentive to PRs and issues). I've contributed a bit to it, but ultimately I don't spend a lot of time hacking on Vim anymore (though I do have a todo item to update my vim plugins to make use of viml 9). At the same token, there is a bit of sunk cost fallacy going on in that I know VimL very well. I don't like the idea of having my config in two different languages nor do I like the idea of having to port my whole vimc config (which I know quite intimately) over to Lua. And ya, as you said, I feel no limitation in Vim other than the previously mentioned lack-of-Elixir support.

Oh ya, I was also convinced to try it out thanks to this talk [0]. Though, even as a quiet person myself, I found his speaking style very hard to take (but I powered through).

I'm actually aware of your Sixel project but never ended up trying it out. I've actually been following you on github for quite some time but---being primarily a web dev---often when I have to compile C on my mac I think "meh, I'll look into this later" and, of course, rarely come back to it. Not a very good reason, I know.

And ya, I kind of just switched to zsh years ago because it was "the thing to do". I do write enough shell scripts and never use any zsh-specific features, so I've been thinking of moving back to bash just to try it out again.

Thanks so much for your answer!

Yes, but policing affairs inside the home have always been impractical at the best of times.

Of course, OpenAI and most other "AI" aren't affairs "inside the home"; they are affairs publicly demonstrated far and wide.

After hearing all the horrible stories about drugs and watching Hoarders, I consider TikTok a least worse substance for the old if they ever need one. The only bad part is it is made in China and Americans can't produce better ones for some reason.
There's currently little to no learning or feedback loop due to the relatively small context window sizes.

I've done many language exchanges with people using Google Translate and the lack of improvement/memory of past conversations is a real motivation killer; I'm concerned this will move on to general discourse on the internet with the proliferation of LLMs.

I'm sure many people have already gone around in circles with rules-based customer support. AI can make this worse.
This looks great! I need to look into it. For a little while I have used a combination of a KVM Switch and Mouse without Bordershttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=354... to switch between my computer and the laptop I have on my desk. It would be great to have a local-only option. The application would need to copy the contents of my clipboard from one computer to the next, a feature I don't think I can live without.
“Addiction is a disease” is something I learned as a child of a (now sober) alcoholic parent.

It’s a strange classification at first because addiction seems like a matter of will and strength.

If we’re going to lump algorithmic addiction in with other addictions there’s a lot of interesting things that would flow from that. For example now that online gambling and sports betting is more common there’s disclaimers and commercials telling people to get help if they have a problem. Should the same thing be true for social media and Candy Crush games?

Seems that is a tetracycline derivative? A class of antibiotics generally refers to the mechanism of action, so I'd think it wouldn't be a new class if it is derived from an existing one.
You've used "legacy hire" in a couple comments here. I'm not familiar with the term, and searching doesn't find it used much: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22legacy+hire%22

Are you consciously trying to create it as a new term, or is it in common use in some circles that I'm unfamiliar with? I don't think it's a good parallel with "legacy admission" unless it were to refer to hiring the child of an a previous employee, but this doesn't seem to be what you mean.
The first is someone who is disagreeing with you and actually putting their money where their mouth is, which is the opposite of sophistry. You don't argue with any specific claim of his so it's impossible to know what you think is bullshit there.

The second is a good example of what I just said - hard to accept but true. If the price of energy goes up a lot then the poorest will do without, and the richest will just outbid them. He wrote that article in November 2022. A few months later the Guardian was writing that millions can't afford to heat their own homes due to high energy prices:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/dec/08/uk-weather-m...

The third is a guy who doesn't like Greta Thunberg, the girl famous for most recently arguing that Palestine has something to do with climate change. Are you saying that anyone who thinks Thunberg is an idiot is engaged in "cynical sophistry"?

It better. Copyright has essentially fucking ceased to exist in the eyes of AI people. Just because you have a shiny new toy doesn't mean the law suddenly stops applying to you. The internet does its best to route around laws and government but the more technologically up to date bureaucracy becomes, the faster it will catch up.
Broadly defined, society divides into two camps when faced with stories like this. The first is we need regulation in order to protect people from themselves. The second is that it sucks for these people, but we can't have prohibition.

I'm firmly in the second camp. The root cause of this woman's issue is isolation and loneliness. She found a temporary medicine for her problem, but this medicine cost money. The amount of medicine she purchased exceeded her ability to pay for it, but the pain caused by her loneliness and isolation was so strong that she would rather go broke than face the pain.

If you regulated and banned this TikTok phenomena, it would not have solved her pain. And there are plenty of other forms of pay-for-companionship that could have taken her money as well.
You make it seem as if the copyright holder is making more money on a library book, than on one sold in retail, which does not appear to be the case in the US.
The 'exact cover' problem has been studied for decades, possibly centuries. The generalization to "primary" and "secondary" items is Knuth's terminology, but the idea itself is a natural one and has been considered before. It is specifically "exact covering with colors" (XCC, not "XC") that is Knuth's innovation/discovery, what a large part of the recent volume discusses, and about which he said there isn't a Wikipedia article yet (because it hasn't caught on yet, and discussed in non-Knuth sources).
