On Java case, depends on which toolchain it is being tested, how many JIT levels it supports, if PGO is part of the picture, if it does JIT caching, if there is an AOT compilation available as well.

On Android/ART, multiple factors collaborate for the best AOT compilation with optimising compiler, when the device is idle, while a tiered JIT does its best, depending if PGO data was downloaded alongside the APK, or needed to be generated from scratch.

Then there are all the other JVMs.

If the future of humanity rests on access to old NYT articles, we’re fucked. Why can’t OpenAI try to get a license if the NYT archives are so important to them?
I’m… not sure what you mean. This is also text style code. It’s just text in the cells.

With VBA you can make user defined functions and then use them in the cells, which off the top of my head seems superior to stuffing the implementation details in each cell where the same logic is likely to be reused.

I don’t feel like I get it from reading this readme. Things like the function option bit seem like harmful features at a glance. I feel like you lose a lot of credibility asserting that excel is not a programming language. It very much is. And both of them are based on the same key feature: using spatial coordinates instead of or in conjunction with a namespace. The debug thing is honestly minor.

It’s very counterproductive for you to be negative towards excel. Fans of excel are your MOST LIKELY INTERESTED USERBASE.

At the root, it seems like there's also a gap in copyright with respect to AI around transformative.

Is using something, in its entirety, as a tiny bit of a massive data set, in order to produce something novel... infringing?

That's a pretty weird question that never existed when copyright was defined.

Three years ago at age 25 I booked an eye exam due after getting some new floaters. After imaging my eye doc came in and asked if I was comfortable driving while dilated, because he would be dilating and numbing my eyes before sending me off to the retina specialist for an urgent exam. The ophthalmologist immediately diagnosed me with lattice degeneration and saw a horseshoe tear. That same afternoon he sat me in a chair and used a laser to create a barrier of scar tissue around the tear to prevent it from progressing. Three years later I have had two rounds of prophylactic treatment of those weak spots in each eye. I most likely will never experience a retinal detachment, but annual dilated eye exams are in my future.

I don't even have very bad myopia (-2.75/-3.25), but I kick myself for not spending as much time outside during my childhood as some of my friends did.
LLM is going to bring tons of cool applications, but AGI is not an application!

The law on this does not currently exist. It is in the process of being created by the courts and legistatures.

I personally think that giving copyright holders control over who is legally allowed to view a work that has been made publicly available is a huge step in the wrong direction. One of those reasons is open source, but really that argument applies just as well to making sure that smaller companies have a chance of competing.

I think it makes much more sense to go after the infringing uses of models rather than putting in another barrier that will further advantage the big players in this space.
Roaches are very easy to exterminate with gel bait + gentrol + maybe powder for cracks. About $70 worth of equipment for a big infestation (I've solved a few for friends in NYC). It's just that 90% of exterminators in cities are useless, its a minimum wage job and its in the pest control company's interests to not solve the problem permanently.
So much of the problem of extermination is due to SEO and misinformation, agree or disagree?

Stupid clickbait title. "The robot was designed to handle freshly-cast aluminium car parts." This means it was not an intelligent robot (one that senses its environment and changes its behavior accordingly), but an old-school industrial robot arm. These are not designed to work around humans which is why they operate behind fences. So if a human got injured then most likely that human ignored or overwrote some of the safety mechanisms and essentially got himself into the path of the robot.

Artists getting paid little is a function of how easy it is to capture the value that artists create, and how willing other people are to do that capturing - not how valuable their work is. Artists definitely want to get paid and do not want to live on scraps for "passion's" sake. This is the entire argument for copyright existing in the first place, even though current copyright law has flaws.

There's a few levels to this...

Would it be more rigorous for AI to cite its sources? Sure, but the same could be said for humans too. Wikipedia editors, scholars, and scientists all still struggle with proper citations. NYT itself has been caught plagiarizing[1].

But that doesn't really solve the underlying issue here: That our copyright laws and monetization models predate the Internet and the ease of sharing/paywall bypass/piracy. The models that made sense when publishing was difficult and required capital-intensive presses don't necessarily make sense in the copy and paste world of today. Whether it's journalists or academics fighting over scraps just for first authorship (while some random web dev makes 3x more money on ad tracking), it's just not a long-term sustainable way to run an information economy.

I'd also argue that attribution isn't really that important to most people to begin with. Stuff, real and fake, gets shared on social media all the time with limited fact-checking (for better or worse). In general, people don't speak in a rigorous scholarly way. And people are often wrong, with faulty memories, or even incentivized falsehoods. Our primate brains aren't constantly in fact-checking mode and we respond better to emotional, plot-driven narratives than cold statistics. There are some intellectuals who really care deeply about attributions, but most humans won't.

Taken the above into consideration:

1) Useful AI does not necessarily require attribution

2) AI piracy is just a continuation of decades of digital piracy, and the solutions that didn't work in the 1990s and 2000s still won't work against AI

3) We need some better way to fund human creativity, especially as it gets more and more commoditized

4) This is going to happen with or without us. Cat's outta the bag.

I don't think using old IP law to hold us back is really going to solve anything in the long term. Yes, it'd be classy of OpenAI to pay everyone it sourced from, but long term that doesn't matter. Creativity has always been shared and copied and imitated and stolen, the only question is whether the creators get compensated (or even enriched) in the meantime. Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but it happens regardless. There'll always be noncommercial posts by the billions of people who don't care if AI, or a search engine, or Twitter, or whoever, profits off them.

If we get anywhere remotely close to AGI, a lot of this won't matter. Our entire economic and legal systems will have to be redone. Maybe we can finally get rid of the capitalist and lawyer classes. Or they'll probably just further enslave the rest of us with the help of their robo-bros, giving AI more rights than poor people.

But either way, this is way bigger than the economics of 19th-century newspapers...

I'm sorry you're frustrated. I admit that I am scoping my responses to your most recent response rather than trying to discuss the system as a whole. In my experience, that's common in threaded comment systems. Whatever its shortcomings, it does help combat non-sequiturs. If you'd rather discuss the system as a whole, we can do that.

As for what we're disagreeing about, maybe this will help. In this thread I have tried to say the following:

1. I believe that using a SQL role with the correct access rights, augmented by other features within modern databases, is a good option. It's not the ONLY good option, but it's not the case that it's never a good option.

2. I believe that it's not NECESSARILY true that a user could write some pretty rough queries that threaten QoS against a SQL API. There ARE steps that can be taken, right within the database.

3. I believe that exposing a SQL database to users is not NECESSARILY handing out a big surface area. Modern databases offer tools to limit the size of that surface area. They may not limit it in all possible ways to satisfy every possible person (e.g. I'm not aware of any SQL database that allows you to forbid joins, for example), but it's a mistake to believe that you can't limit the surface area AT ALL.

4. I believe that using these features (RBAC, RLS, data types, constraints, triggers, views, quotas, etc.) in development is not NECESSARILY more costly than writing something that translates a small DSL to SQL.

5. I believe it's difficult to quantify this cost or effort but in any case it's not orders-of-magnitude more difficult to use the database than to compile a DSL.

6. I believe it's presumptuous to declare that other people don't need all the power of SQL. Some people may not need it or want it, and that's fine, but if other people say that they do need it or want it, I'm not going to tell them they're wrong.

7. I believe NEITHER of us is in a position to tell other people that they're doing it wrong, or that what they're doing isn't valid, on matters of judgment. If you like compiling a DSL and it's good for you, I'm not going to say that's not valid. I'd appreciate it if you'd do likewise when I say that I like using the database because it's good for me.

8. I believe BOTH of us, however, are free to say that something is incorrect on matters of fact (e.g. numbers 1 - 4 above).

If you don't disagree with any of these things then perhaps we're not disagreeing about anything after all.
This is complicated. Because while I do budget, I also don't.

The realities of life are too complex to plan for the way I'd like.

So, I budget in a more qualitative way:

"We should really try our hardest to spend below X but we shouldn't care about the specific allocation as much"

There's always something that comes along and fucks it up so why bother. If we feel we don't have enough money the solution is to try to make more money so we can stick to our qualititative, high level strategy.

If I was in a position where I needed to track everything that would be an indicator I'm either mentally unwell or we are not bringing in enough to live. Granular budgeting would be counter-productive to our goals.

Edit: I will add that I think the above "works" if you are trying to keep the gap within "some percentage of your income". If you can swing a few hundred bucks without a huge issue from month to month and can shoulder the odd vet visit or car problem, it's fine.

If your swings are thousands of dollars or you can't shoulder an unexpected expense, that would be how I'd classify it as an income problem and not a budget problem. I don't think budgeting can fix that.

TLDR: I prefer macro budgeting - micro budgeting would mean income stream problem, relationship problem, mental problem.

> Years later in our house we found and killed a single German cockroach. And of course, living in a city, if you find one that means there are many more.

Being in a city has nothing to do with it. Cockroaches are social, like sheep (or humans). If you live in a city and you find a spider, it was just the one spider. If you live in the remote wilderness and you find a cockroach, it was hundreds of cockroaches.
That is still how my private site works, and how I do side gigs for Web development.

It depends on the goal, epicycles don't tell you about the nature of heavenly bodies - but they do let you keep an accurate calendar for a reasonable definition of accurate. I'm not sure whether I need deep understanding of intelligence to gain economic benefit from AI.
Doesn't VHDL have good support for libraries? VHDL packages and subfunctions can have generics (which I've not used) for library support similar to Ada. VHDL entities can also have generics (which I have used). I was wondering what was lacking and needs extending/fixing in VHDL.
Wish I could edit my comment as I see it has triggered many responses. To me, the effort of closing a deal to sell something that's not losing money isn't worth $10,000. I'd rather keep it alive and let users enjoy it. If I'm losing money, that's a different story, of course. But since selling on Acquire tops at $10,000, I decide that it's not worth my time. I might think differently if instead of $10,000 it was $100,000. That would pay off part of my mortgage. But having to do KT, sign documents, consult with lawyers, do loads of admin for $10,000? No way. I am almost offended

I would say that it feels different because the internet / smartphones are more about giving everyone access to inexpensive, high bandwidth, communication (nearly) everywhere. But high bandwidth communications have been available everywhere for a long time, if you had a need and were willing to pay for it --- tv news would bounce signals off a satelite for on scene reports, etc.
> A previous commenter asked “Are ranchers in Colorado uniquely unequipped to adopt any of the solutions used by ranchers elsewhere?”. I interpret this as snark and was answering in kind.

It seemed like an honest, innocent question, not snark at all. The response seemed dismissive and snarky, though.

This is a good reason to not try to get revenge for what you believe to be "snark": you might be totally wrong in your judgement. Best to just respond honestly and straightforwardly.
I watch a fair amount of the YouTube retro computing, electronics and car restoration channels, but because of the hate-crime that is the YouTube recommendation system, have turned off automatic play and shorts. Automatic play because it quickly gets you to the crazies, and shorts because I am not 14.

If YouTube don’t learn to understand that “no” means “no” and not “maybe later” (you can just feel the mid-product-owner energy from that phrase), I too will cease using it. Whether I’ll entirely give up on the content is to be seen.
Be willing to accept that things you find discomfiting not only exist, but are actually good and valuable parts of life for other people. You're not expected to like everything. You're also not entitled to a world tailored to your preferences.

Imposing your preferences on the world leads to a gray, dull uniformity as people race to the bottom of inoffensive, unobjectionable sameness. Find some other salon where you fit better instead of insisting that other people's lives be made worse in order to accommodate you. It's not all about you. Let other people be happy and leave them in peace.

Show HN: A reference implementation of Schönfinkel's Combinatory Logic paper
Hey all,

A while back I implemented Turing's "On Computable Numbers" paper [1], and decided that Schönfinkel's "On the Building Blocks of Mathematical Logic" would be a fun next one to try to implement.

Alongside the code I include a section-by-section guide to the paper. I apologize for any misreadings of the original text (of which there are probably many).

I'll probably continue to try to make guides/reference implementations for landmark CS papers, would love to hear what you think the most important ones are!

Floaters have many causes. An early sign of retinal detachment will be floaters until it progresses closer to the macular hole, at which point the symptoms will be more of a curtain being drawn across your vision.

I was able to catch a retinal tear that had a very high chance of proceeding to a retinal detachment (horsehoe tear with sub-retinal fluid) by getting some new floaters checked out.

Floaters are commonly caused by a (mostly) benign aging phenomenon called posterior vitreous detachment, where the vitriol gel liquefies as a person ages.

that just sounds like "we didn't even try to build those systems in that way, and we're all out of ideas, so it basically will never work"

which is really just a very, very common story with ai problems, be it sources/citations/licenses/usage tracking/etc., it's all just 'too complex if not impossible to solve', which just seems like a facade for intentionally ignoring those problems for benefit at this point. those problems definitely exist, why not try to solve them? because well...actually trying to solve them would entail having to use data properly and pay creators, and that'd just cut into bottom line. the point is free data use without having to pay, so why would they try to ruin that for themselves?
