If someone is willing to leave home without it for a walk in the park / drinks at a bar / quick stop at the store, then they can evacuate a burning plane without it.

If it is truly that imminently required to keep them alive, they should already be in the habit of keeping it on their person.

And certainly while flying, and at the very very least during takeoff/landing on a plane. Further, absolute worst case.. with pre-evacuation warning time, reachable in under seat backpack to be moved to your jeans/shirt/jacket pocket. If you travel in clothes without pockets, now is a good time to reconsider doing so.

Lots of opportunities here to not try and lug baggage down an evacuation slide and risk your own / fellow passengers deaths.

If this is surprising to anyone reading, hope you plan accordingly now during your next travel.
Gmail is successful because it naturally is the biggest honeypot. Most antispam API filters are like accumulators. When a trend is detected, the rest are protected. But overall, it's about scale.
This is kind of what happens in practice though isn't it?

Maybe not every single person, but certainly outliers who are making way more than their peers get a new job, or the same job title with "principal" or "executive" slapped on front.
Based on what is reported in the article (and without reviewing the review studies) we can only say that claiming in a survey to eat less red meat is associated with a small reduction in heart disease risk.

After decades of nonsense high profile nutritional studies being presented then debunked the represented my policy is that I only believe large effects.
I disagree. Lawyers and judges practice and interpret the laws for which we, the people are collectively responsible.

Laws are written based on the results of these kinds of discussions. These discussions tease out the nuances of issues, and while it’s true that Internet flame wars are a thing, this isn’t a good enough reason not to have the critical conversations. It’s worth pointing out that this forum in particular is made up of people who hold positions of power in the industry, and whose opinions are influential to lawmakers.

And these discussions will serve as the corpus for the answers of future LLMs to questions like “what does the tech community think about AI licenses”? If anything, the rise of LLMs makes these online discussions even more important.

There is dialogue, and there is physical conflict. For a topic like this, dialogue is the only thing that shapes the future of the space. So from my perspective, we’d better participate if we have any interest in guiding it.
I can assure you though they were posted and can be found on Threads, Mastodon, Reddit, news sites, and many other places too
Thank you. I was looking at it through the lens of social constructionism, but in a wider context, I agree with you. It seems to me that unscrupulous people use this idea for their own ends

…

I mean, it is _his fault_. Are you aware of the phrase “the buck stops here”? And from a practical point of view, just “X” is pretty ambiguous, and the “X, formerly known as Twitter” thing is cumbersome.

What makes you think this is propaganda? In service of what ends? Propaganda doesn’t just mean “news I don’t like”, or even “poorly/clickbait-y reported news I don’t like”.
"Needed help" because the powers of the day decided to lock down the economy far past any reasonable length of time. I suppose if I quit my job I "need help" feeding myself too.

Another example is Quebec sitting on a gargantuan natural gas reserve, but preferring to keep it in the ground because it's more advantageous to simply receive payments from other provinces (Alberta). Carbon/emission considerations aside, this shows just how broken the incentive structure is for equalization payments between provinces.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as Canadian governmental issues go, and it's hard to know where to start improving things.

> If you have to ask the question "what if the RDS goes down", then you are really in a different universe.

It does go down though, don’t neglect the possibility because it likely will happen. With very average workloads, I’ve seen RDS databases restart unexpectedly, read replicas being completely out of service, and even databases being completely frozen (can’t even connect as root).

I’d still go with managed, but it certainly doesn’t give full reliability :) you still have to consider “what if it goes down” - it will!

Sunken cost fallacy. Face to face sales tactics. FOMO.
dumb question - where is the storage kept?
To me this seems like another "protest piece" for people that really hate AI, rather than something useful. It's like one of those "No to AI art" images that people spammed on websites hosting any AI-generated content. It's truly baffling how generative AI in particular created an opposition that despises it so much, in comparison to the pushback new technologies got in the past.
We literally decided to drive from UK to Poland this year(12 hour overnight ferry + another 12 hours of driving) instead of flying, because we hate Christmas flying so much, it's always a shit show, we always end up ill because everyone is coughing, at least with driving we can take it at our own pace - we want to stop, we stop.
It was mostly luck. My niche is too small to get overcrowded, and naturally yields to high-commission purchases like insurance. I didn't know that when I started.

In any case, I live by the age-old advice "content is king". You wouldn't believe how much work I put into researching, writing and maintaining each guide. I didn't achieve local brand recognition by pumping out SEO-optimised garbage. You can't speedrun this.
As a salesperson at a large SaaS firm, I wouldn't want to work for an organization that doesn't have wide variability in compensation. My team had one rep who earned around $180k, and another who earned more than $400k, even though they have the exact same job title and responsibilities, which is how it should be.
My guy, you're replying to someone that said theyre not considering hiring
Yes, it would, and then you'd never hear about competitions in that game because it doesn't support ultra high-level play.
”Zalando is a Postgres operator that facilitates the deployment of a highly available (HA) Postgres cluster.”

Happy user here, not much complaints about the operator come to mind.
It’s confusing because that pointer moves all over the place all the time in different ways. Sometimes the pointer moves when you perform other actions. Sometimes you want the pointer to move but it doesn’t.

The concept “a branch is a pointer” isn’t a confusing. However the practice of managing and predicting the behavior that pointer is complex, error prone, and full of nasty edge cases.
You can turn that right around though- Why improve yourself when you can just blame the system? Nature, nurture, free will, and pure luck all have a role to play. Sometimes a system is dysfunctional, sometimes a person within that system is dysfunctional- no matter what there's always a tendency to avoid personal responsibility when things don't go well (for all parties involved, the system included)

Bill Belichick suggests rent seekers propped up by an entire organization is the norm. Good players wanted to play with Brady, not for Belichick.

None of those titles exist if the individuals are spending their days growing their food.

Capitalism only exists as a socialized meme there’s a communal upside to capitalism. What’s the communal value to propagating Bezos and Belichick types specifically deserve special privileges if they’re so dependent?

New idea; if Musk can survive in the wilds of Alaska for a month he can stay rich. Let them prove it’s not just propagation of memes via media that keeps us talking about how great they are.
My guess is, he did not do anything different, he just finally managed to establish a routine. There are thousands of reasons out of your control that can help or block you. Mostly it is other people, though. One stupid person at the gym might be a reason to not go this day ... and that was it for the routine, as the next day, there is something else vs. looking forward to meet nice people again at the gym and having the time to do it.
You don't want competing nations or groups to be able to beat you up because you didn't act. But at the same time, these tools are being deployed against us, replacing us, being used to track and manipulate us.

There's a difference between staying out from under boot and laissez-faire letting a new tech harm your people. The analogy that comes to mind is weapons research: if weapons were regularly tested on civilians to accelerate the R&D, and to enrich huge corporations, yeah, don't call us luddites for being unhappy about it
NYT article comments section is worth a read to fill in more anecdotes adjacent to this article's subject. It is striking that the article features the word "corruption" only in a positive light ("many types of corruption have been reined in") and the word "caste" appears not once.
And that part is sort of waining too. Games are starting to 'tap out', so to speak, on the massively-growing CPU/GPU desires. Helped along by having really popular devices to target that are CPU/GPU/memory constrained (compared to a gaming PC or PS5 or such), and a desire by business to have highly-profitable massively-online or Games-as-a-Service titles as widely-available as possible.

See how many of the most popular highest-grossing games, like say Overwatch or Warframe or No Man's Sky or Fortnite or Roblox or Minecraft or Apex Legends or such, all end up wanting to target at least one traditionally-lower-end device (a Steam Deck / Nintendo Switch / iPhone+iPad / Android / etc).

> Now what do you do if you don't trust someone but they demand your info anyway and you're not in a position to refuse?

Can you explain when this is the case? You can always vote with your feet and not use x|y|z.com. Not a once have I been forced to used some piece of software in my personal life.

> The latter is how human society has always operated. People behave differently in front of their parents and their friends. They wear different clothes to work and to play. They say things in confidence to people they trust that they wouldn't say to people they don't.

I'm not actually arguing that socially we shouldn't have "Personas" or access to multiple email addresses or whatnot, etc. I'm arguing that personas should be specifically chosen by products on top of a strong cohesive underlying human identity system (by not using some global id as a primary key in the users table or even storing it in the first place, or by allowing a less strict form of authentication). If your message board doesn't need to enforce uniqueness of humans, or enforce that posters use a real name, then it simply doesn't (maybe email is good enough for it). However, if your bank does need to, it has a good way to do so not a shitty one. And as a user I'd rather my account recovery be rooted in a socially robust system even if higher order services don't need to chain their account/user records back to a unique person ID.

> You're really looking for a rate limiter to prevent someone from creating a million accounts. You don't have to merge everyone's pseudonyms into a totalitarian centralized identity system for that. All you need is something that puts a price on account creation. A literal price would work fine. So would a dozen other things.

That's not what I'm looking for but I don't disagree that it's a solution to some of the spam and bot type of problems.

I'm looking for a strong digital identity system not rooted in a digital postal address. Some people are allergic to the idea because of all the ways it could theoretically be abused. I simply don't buy FUD around how an strong identity system could be abused to be reason not to build it. Powerful tools come with great responsibility. I believe there are enough people who care involved that we could develop and wield a better system than "your email is you" responsibly as a society. I actually think that a strong identity system would help us avoid slipping into a totalitarian nightmare where all the tracking happens in the dark behind the veil (essentially what we have today). I want people that need to track you to declare it loud and clear so that I can make informed trust decisions on a service by service basis.

Anyway you really seem to be arguing from a position where you assume this tool will be used unilaterally by everyone for bad. I simply don't buy it. Your fear is noted, and I think we've discussed as much as is productive at this point.
There is a twist in Canadian law regarding mortgages.
Quoting from the page linked below.
---
Canada’s Interest Act states the following about amortizing mortgages: “... the principal money and the rate of interest chargeable on that money, calculated yearly or half-yearly, not in advance.”
---
This page does go into the detail a little more.
https://wowa.ca/how-is-mortgage-interest-calculated

It may not be authoritative but you can start with
https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/i-15/page-1.html
which should be.
Curious to hear how you would solve these issues.
I have absolutely no doubt that you may have received such output from the prompt you provided, but I'd like to enter into the record what GPT-4-turbo via the Chat Website provided to me using your specific prompt[0], which was more generalized advice on the different aspects of how such a license could be written, rather than a license as seen on their homepage. These also, very specifically, pointed to the issues such an undertaking will inevitably have:

> [...] Definitions: Clearly define what constitutes "AI context" to avoid ambiguity. This could include the use of content in machine learning, algorithm training, data scraping, AI-generated art, automated content creation, predictive modeling, etc. [...]

LLMs, by their nature, are not deterministic, so getting differing outputs is no surprise. Considering, however, that, using your prompt, I got a rather differentiated output that points to the very issues that are inherent to these licenses, namely whether things such as data scraping would fall under "technologies designed to simulate human intelligence" (clearly define human intelligence and the simulation thereof, I'd argue LLMs may not fall under that at this point in time either), showcases that the creator most likely did not receive such a faulty license from the get-go, and if they did, the output was likely littered with severe warnings to employ legal advice and lean on experts rather than just post that first draft.

To me, while a LLM may provide such a license draft with such casual prompting in limited cases (perhaps someone could prompt this 100 times and see how often they get a license over general advice using your prompt), the license on that website still seems more like the result of actively prompting for erroneous results to make LLMs appear incapable of such a task (or again and much worse for their cause, this is in fact a serious attempt at a license by someone inexperienced yet unwilling to contact any expert who'd explain things like search engine crawlers and the wider implications of such an undertaking).

Regardless, even if these licenses were the first output the LLM provided and even if they are meant to be taken as a joke/way to start a conversation rather than something people should use for their projects in earnest, what remains is that LLMs are not static and will improve, so any point made concerning the current day's capabilities only undercuts the serious and important discussion on licensing and the future of copyright. LLMs will get better, pointing out temporary imperfections only distracts from actually important topics.

So, whatever their intent and whether this license is serious or not, I feel this does not help their alleged cause.

Interestingly, this prefix rule which is based on the filesystem-based ref storage is enforced even if refs are stored via alternative means like .git/packed-refs, since the refs could later be stored in the filesystem. You can verify this by calling `git pack-refs --all` and verifying that your .git/refs/heads directory is empty but you still cannot create conflicting branches.

meat should be considered luxury, based on its footprint, so higher cost and people should consume much less of it, simple
Well that’s a bit surprising.

I’d never heard of Kick … and several actually explicit adult sites are in the service.json file…

This feels like it might be a bit of an overreaction… but I dunno. I’m not about to expose myself to any site like Twitxh/Kick/YouTube right before bed…. It’s not good for my sleep quality… so I’m not really in a position to judge anything about Kick.

This is, like… one of the things that Twitter was historically quite good for.
It is that easy. Why wouldn’t it be? It would be as simple as extra taxation if you don’t have two kids.
PRC's huge population denominator will still generate more fresh bodies per year to sustain modern war against any adversary. Especially against TW with even worse demographic trend. They face same recruitment issue as US - not enough technical talent wants to go into military to operate all the complex hardware that requires increasingly less manning. But in event of war, there's endless bodies to draft from.

As one of the people impacted by losing the $150 a month extra SNAP (food stamp) money we were getting throughout the pandemic, inflation was barely noticeable while we were getting it. The effects of inflation became most noticeable when the extra $150 a month was ended, because the inflated prices never went down when the inflationary pressure was removed.
It is completely on-brand for HN commenters to go down a rabbit hole nitpicking some minor quibble and missing/ignoring the overall point completely.
This audience is exactly the right one to start thinking about and developing strategies and opinions on this topic. The flame wars can go live on reddit, the developers here need to discuss future paths for AI licensing.

It's still a substantial improvement to have known snapshots of the state of the code. It doesn't have to be in VCS, like you can roll it old school and save full zips of the code base, but snapshots are a tangible benefit that VCS offers that does not hinge in the slightest upon well written commit messages.
