> I think that depends on the application of "designed to simulate human intelligence" (Definition "b").. If that statement does not apply to the previously mentioned "algorithms" in the definition, I think it's safe for most (current) search engines.

But then, what does it apply to? Are LLMs "designed to simulate human intelligence"? What about image generators? Like, their outputs can be similar to what "human intelligence" might produce, but if we're talking intent at the design level, I'm doubtful that any of their developers sat down with the thought of "let's replicate a human".

> I imagine there would be a fight in various laws/constitutions saying that the license is illegal/not allowed/etc in most places as it would not support accessibility (e.g. AI based text-to-speech for those that need it)...

Either this or "right to public info" you mention in the next paragraph are smaller issues in comparison to asking whether they can even make these clauses. If AI use isn't found to be automatically in violation of copyright just through mere inclusion in a dataset, then this license will be meaningless because you can't sign away law in a license.

"And you would realize how much noise people make."

Confirmed! It's not even an "it depends.." imho. Humans are noisy, period.

As an excercise: find a place outside, where for a full day you won't encounter, see or even hear another human. Maaany bonus points if not even encountering signs of human presence like traffic noise, litter, an airplane flying overhead, pipelines / power grid, marked trails, a radio tower in the distance, or whatever.

>I wonder if this might be an educational issue?

It certainly is. There are two things that a team needs to do to use git:
1) Team members all learn git
2) A few conventions are agreed upon to facilitate collaboration

People use #2 to replace #1. And that's why we've had to sit through a neverending flow of blog posts obsessing over git workflows.

Git is flexible to whatever your business workflow is, play around with it a bit, choose something, then make changes when it's not working.

The topic fundamentally does not need this many explainers. But if you're supplanting understanding the tool, it does.

> prompted to produce faulty or imperfect licenses on purpose

I don’t read it that way.

You could prompt it perfectly “honestly” for the following:

> create a license for creative works, similar to the Creative Commons licenses, but which disallows using the content in any AI context

OpenAI GPT4 tells me about some considerations, and proceeds to give me a template that I can build on, which is very very near in fact to the kind of content you see in OP link.

No need to tell the AI to create a faulty or imperfect license. The LLM is perfectly able to do that on its own. And then instead of refining what it gave you, set up a basic website hosting the content.

Hell, you can even prompt the LLM to make the HTML version of the document for you, if you want.
This is not at all obvious. The pilots can't look backwards and don't have eyes in the cabin. There have been cases of engine fires and failures where the pilots had to go into the passenger cabin to examine the damage.

Communication is key, but comms might have been down, too. In cases like this the cabin crew have to be prepared to initiate an evacuation on their own, and they have to be prepared to choose which doors to use.

A false belief that we we have control over our destinies and ignoring the vast amount of luck is how we end up with increasing suicide rates. It also leads to poor outcomes because we can blame simply blame the poor performers rather than examine the systems. Why adjust the system when we can blame it on personal failure for free.
Hey, author here. Yes I can confirm it was editorialized[1]

The fact that you're (rightfully) questioning that, is the crux of the issue. Without an editorial note, it causes confusion and suspicion even when neither are warranted.

HN might be my favorite agg site on the web. I appreciate that I can read non-corporate blogs on here. So, I don't want to sound like I'm hammering this point too hard. But clearly there's a better way to editorialize? Maybe not. I don't have to make difficult moderation decisions so perhaps it's easy to say what they must change.

I can give you a primer on the system for independent contractors in Poland:

-Flat minimal monthly pension contribution either filed as a business expense or just deducted from gross income - subtly different, but functionally the same as long as you have income. Calculated as the pension contribution of someone making 60% of the average wage - the exact number is published on an annual basis.

-Income tax: every January you can select one of several schemes:

1. Two brackets - 17% and 32% with the first 30k PLN ($7k USD) tax-free and ability to file taxes together as a married couple, in which case you effectively average out your and your spouse's incomes and pay taxes accordingly.

2. 19% flat rate, no tax-free range, no rules like for marriages.

3. 12% flat rate, mostly same as 2., except on top of that you can't file business expenses. There a few different rates in this scheme, but IT generally falls under the group charged 12%.

Healthcare contributions depend on tax scheme chosen above and are calculated as a percentage of gross income from the previous month minus deductions and expenses.

1. - 9%, 2. - 4,9%, 3. - 3%.

That is mostly it. Regular employees have more complicated rules with employer contributions on top of gross income and small deductions like for living sufficiently far from the workplace, having an internet connection and whatnot, but they don't add up to much.

I’d take chaos that I actually participated in creating over the preexisting oligarchy any day.

I’m also not sure why you think it would be any more chaotic than the existing run of government. Are we less competent at making laws today than we were a hundred years ago?

In any case, it seems plainly ridiculous on its face that I am to be bound by laws I had no part in voting for. This idea that my ancestors get to decide for me is as unfair as people in a different country deciding for me. The practical considerations are irrelevant; I am taxed without representation.
In Poland there are some complexities when you run a company / employ, but as an employee it's relatively straightforward UX where you click through a government-operated "income tax fillings wizard" and either just OK a pre-filled declaration or add a couple missing items. Paper filling is a bit more complicated, but I think you can get help at the tax office to get 1 or 2 forms sorted out.

For self-employment I send 2 documents per month regarding my expenses (which is somewhat easy if you understand the rules), plus one or two summaries per year. Hiring is a bit more complicated, I only file simplified declarations for employing private people as contractors. Otherwise I'm pretty much a worst case scenario as I file 7 different yearly declarations covering most possible sources of income defined in the law. It's not that bad, but it could be better.

Running a company can be practically automated with an online accounting SaaS, including payroll. Laws tend to be relatively understandable and there isn't much complicated math. Most of the recent confusion was around shitty laws poorly implemented and then partially reverted by our previous government. I did not enjoy that, but there were some decent online writeups explaining how to proceed.
FWIW, being off by 10s of dollars sounds to me like different ideas of how to count days. Banks sometimes use calendar days, sometimes business days, and sometimes a fictitious calendar with 12 months of 30 days each.

Very cool! Having written a couple of web calendars myself, I found that most of the hair-tearing logical complexity was due to recurring events. I didn't see any reference to recurrence when I skimmed the docs or the demo.

Have you decided how (or if) you're going to handle recurring events? Because that has huge implications for how otherwise "simple" changes to events behave, both from whatever backend you use as well as the UI.

As an American, the part of the story where a single coin is valuable enough to bother with is very interesting to me. Our failure over years to introduce a working dollar coin (much less a toonie) is frustrating.
It sounds like you're thinking of separating coins using eddy current braking [1]. This works even for non-magnetic coins because the effect is a function of the metal's electrical conductivity.

If you have a silver coin or a small piece of copper pipe and a large, strong neodymium magnet, then you can easily observe this effect at home by putting the metal sample on a table and quickly waving the magnet past it as close as you can without touching it. The metal will slide across the table following the magnet, despite the metal itself not being magnetic, because the moving magnet induces eddy currents which temporarily create a magnetic field like an electromagnet. Other metals besides silver and copper exhibit weaker responses due to higher electrical resistivity.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake
I give you an example. I took advantage of some free time in these days to finally implement some small services on my home server. ChatGPT (3.5 in my case) has read the documentation of every language, framework, API out there. I asked it to start with Python3 http.server (because I know it's already on my little server) and write some code that would respond to a couple of HTTP calls and do this and that. It created an example that customized the do_GET and do_POST methods of http.server, which I didn't even know exist (the methods.) It did do well also when I asked it to write some simple web form. It did not so well when things got more complicated but at that point I already knew how to proceed. I finished everything in three hours.

What did it save me?

First of all the time to discover the do_GET and do_POST methods. I know that I should have read the docs but it's like asking a colleague "how do I do that in Python" and getting the correct answer. It happens all the time, sometimes it's me to ask, sometimes it's me to answer.

Second, the time to write the first working code. It was by no means complete but it worked and it was good enough to be the first prototype. It's easier to build on that code.

What it didn't save me? All the years spent to recognize what the code written by ChatGPT did and to learn how to go on from there. Without those years on my own I would have been lost anyway and maybe I wouldn't been able to ask it the right questions to get the code.
I'll note that you didn't answer the question.

> You keep pushing this idea that this is somehow difficult and takes a ton of time. [...] recompiling it and reloading the code isn't an issue

No, I didn't. But you can continue trying to move the goalposts, and I will continue pointing out that that's what you're doing.

> You say to assume competence and stuff

Really? Where?

> You've now sort-of redefined what the original problem was to make it seem like hot-reloading shared libraries doesn't solve it.

Perhaps you and I have a different understanding of the word "redefined". Or maybe you disagree on what "recompile" means (and/or what it means to say that there is "there is no stop-and-recompile").

I'll (re) ask a simpler question: did you read the post describing TWEAK that I linked to[1]—that is, before you replied (and subsequently dove headlong into trying to change the subject with ad hominem attacks on the competence of the person you responded to)?

> At the same time, a lot more people were listening to their music (and still are)

This is true, but only because their music is cheap/free. If it cost more, they would not be listening.

The community part seems real, but that’s a function of streaming and digital music in general and not so much the payout amount. I think Spotify could triple the payout (by tripling the price to customers) and your friend would still make less.

Not mutually exclusive.
Do you though? How often did these things need maintenance?
Realistically, the game was always played by the wealthy and the few that were lucky enough to be at the right place and the right time. Survivorship bias is almost inescapable as the mega successes crowd out all of the other failures and attempts.

To use myself as an example: My family was poor and my father passed away when I was young. A wrongful death suit was the sole reason why I had a modest college fund. That fund was the reason why I was able to go to college and become a software engineer and escape poverty. I still had to sacrifice my personal health in many ways to make that money last, as a large amount of it went to supporting my parents.

Multiple steps of the path that lead me today could've failed. My personal health sacrifice very literally could've killed me given the stuff I put off, I could've gotten injured, my mother could've needed more medical support. There's so many dice rolls that can put you on the path to success or failure in America and a lot of people don't even see them, or are lucky enough to not have to make those rolls in the first place. In every step I took there's a shadow of me whose roll failed.

In many senses I'm somewhat thankful of that poverty I went through because it keeps me grounded. But also that poverty and system that created it is a construct of over a century of the 'American Exceptionalism' mythos. And I didn't even have to experience the worst of it.
Online discussions about topics like these are pointless and only serve to spark flamewars because we are not the lawyers and judges who will rule on them.
