I think this was actually more of a risk mitigation measure from the prosecution's side if memory serves -- this way if one case fell flat or something happened (you never know, maybe the judge rules some evidence can't be included or some weird technicality happens that skews the case towards the defendant) they would still have other charges to file to get a second attempt at prosecuting SBF.
Grownups don’t use UPDATE.
The irony is that they're still using parent IDs in their data. Instead of storing it in a dedicated column with an optimized data type, it's being prepended to the data string. It might not be a number, and it might not be in an ID column, but it remains an identifier that points to another (expected) value. The change of format doesn't disqualify it from being a parent ID.
>>> Don’t speed and efficiency make up the entire set of practical uses for digital computing?

A couple more uses: First is "noise immunity:" The fact that you can perform a computation twice and get the same answer, and chain multiple processing steps together with no degradation. Though to be fair this includes digital computation by pencil and paper.

Second, complex operations that simply can't be conceptualized in the analog domain.
Sell my current side-project.

I started working on it as a student to learn how to build for people, some selling skills, and earn a little money if possible.

Now that I don't have to spend much time on it every month, I intend to finish a few more things over weekends and sell it so that I can start working on something fresh.

I just haven't learnt how to hire and get people to work - let's see if I can try that too while I try selling :)
We’d be better off without the greedy, and this method seems a lot more humane than a literal purge.
And supporters of AI aren't really making a case that's likely to persuade skeptics, they're just regurgitating "It learns like a human" "It doesn't store the info, just the recipe for making it" and completely failing to address that we've decided it's not ok for someone to regurgitate protected works with 100% accuracy, and that artists don't want people to train AI on their works without permission.

There's a way to sell this to the public, but AI proponents don't want to have to sell it, because they feel that they shouldn't have to, and there's an underlying theme of "The benefit of AI is so overwhelming, and eventually it will replace most commodified creative work anyway so why bother litigating this now, let's just skip this messy step and get to that part" and that's super not going to work to convince skeptics.
True! On the other hand, my parents have a used Sandero and it's fine. It's not "much car", but it's a car and it will get you from A to B, but not much more. If you really think about it, it's mindblowing just how much of empty space we carry around with cars.
Oh LSF... I don't know if you know this. LSF is perhaps the only system alive today that I know of that uses literal patches as a means of software distribution.

Fist time I saw it, I had a flashback to the times when I worked for HP, and they were making some huge SAP knock-off, and that system was so labor-intensive to deploy that their QA process involved actual patches. As in pre-release QA cycle involved installing the system, validating it (which could take a few weeks) and if it's not considered DoD, then the developers are given the final list of things they need to fix and those fixes would have to be submitted as patches (sometimes, literal diffs that need to be applied to the deployed system with the patch tool).

This is, I guess, how the "patch version component" came to be in SemVer spec. It's kind of funny how lots of tools are using this component today for completely unrelated purposes... but yeah, LSF feels like the time is ticking there at a different pace :)

A VM with a fixed spec can delegate os churn and the like to the VM maintainers and thus protect the managed code authors aka the JVM.

Does it help the dependency ecosystem churn? No.

Until be get very fine grained api versioning info (like at method / function granularity and even then is it good enough and what oss author could maintain that info outside of a small api) then library version info will simply be a coarse grained thing.

If only there was a super smart AI with great breadth of knowledge with capabilities to infer this relationship graph, but I don't think there's a lot of research into AIs like that these day, right?
Yes, the exit code. See e.g. `:help cq` in vim.
:q! and ZQ will yield exit code 0, which sometimes is not what you want if you want to ensure some task is properly aborted.

"I call on @facebook, @cohere, @AnthropicAI, @MistralAI, @huggingface, @google and everyone else who cares about the future of AI to join the defense and smash the NYT in court for this overreaching attempt to twist and expand copyright to the determinant of pretty much everyone else on Earth but the NY Times."

Preach it louder! I think most of them (certainly Huggingface and Mistral) will be ready to help on this. Let's hope that big tech companies are savvy at getting better lawyers who can more clearly articulate the pro-LLM position to lawmakers.
I watched the video of Xi's speech during his visit to San Francisco titled: "Xi Jinping on U.S.-China relations" in November. One of the most interesting things he said:

> Our achievements, however great, would be very small when divided by 1.4 billion. But a problem, however small, would be huge when multiplied by 1.4 billion.

To me this gives insight into Xi's way of thinking (and presumably his party). A problem, however small, means to be talking about problems of the individual - multiplied.

Xi may have unintentionally highlighted the fundamental difference between American and Chinese systems in a meeting intended to bridge the gaps.

Reverse-engineering a Postman backup file was fun as well. There are OpenAPI schemas, but I found many undocumented fields, and it was not at all obvious when default values for settings were set and when not. Probably a mix of glitches from schema evolution and fields that Postman uses internally.

While different, I find this discussion about AI and copyrights as an evolution of the war that never was: Google/FB converting in the portal/proxy for content and while it is not generative AI you can find copyrighted images just using Google Images or as an snippet in the normal search engine. I mention Google because it is the de facto monopoly but this applies to a lot of aggregators.

I know we are talking about different technologies but it seems all these people were very silent and find some opportunity in having this war with OpenAI (not an endorsement) but not fighting others.

I am not making an statement about the morals of AI and aggregators/search engines (super interesting discussion that in a way was happening for long) but I am surprised that organizations are "just" waking up. It seems they just see it is a much simple and cheap fight.

My message isn't that "cancer isn't bad". It's that medical research into cancer may lead to other outcomes which are definitely not good.

Yes, I am making an ethical judgment about the means of AI, because after some analysis I do believe that the negative effects will be far worse than the positive. True, there are good applications of it. I never denied that.

Of course, my line of reasoning is far more vast than what I wrote here. I'm just arguing a specific point here, not presenting a thesis. I do think there is more to saving animals than arguing against human growth. Of course, people need incentives.

Ask HN: What percentage of your site is saved in Google index?
In the past years, I've been noticing Google's declining ability to save multiple website contents into its index. Yes, it does craws the website, and most of the links, but actual amount of pages in Google has been declining in all websites that we know of.

While Microsoft is indexing and saving at a 5-10X rate more than Google.

What was your experience with Google Index?

How to check:
1. Open Search Console
2. Go to Experience > HTTPS section.
Is the number of pages in the HTTPS report relative to your website's real pages?

Google lacks the resources to index the whole web now and is now behind its competitors like Microsoft?
There's an interesting tool called LocalSolver that uses local search methods by default for everything but if it detects a "decidable" class of problem it can also use fancier algorithms capable of returning a global optima, likely running both in parallel.

Sadly I haven't had a chance to try it.
You seem to be describing something like a credit system ?

It would be weird to get billed for December on a service because you used it a few times in November; that can be explained, but with enough time between the use and the billing it would easily look like a fraudulent charge to the user, and if they decide to cancel it at that time, they'll still be stuck for a full month.

That could make more sense if you're burning through "coins" and need to purchase new ones once you don't have any.

Come to think of it, mobile data billing system would also be close to that, except mobile ISPs can afford to require KYC documents up to a legal ID which drastically reduces the potential for fraud.
But also: There is often zero practical need for rushing things, or for having some complicated vanity feature. This way there is a lot of risk and accountability as far as the team is concerned, but there was nobody up the chain asking for it.

> To my knowledge all VST plugins can be used on Linux (via Wine). Is that not the case?

Yes, although I would recommend Yabridge rather than linvst.

https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge

It should be already packaged in some Linux distros, but building and installation are straightforward. Basically it installs some libraries and an executable which once called will convert a Windows plugin in .dll form to a Linux+WINE loadable .so library.
You install a windows plugin through WINE the usual way: setup.exe etc (or just drop the dll if that's the way it is distributed), then once it is installed, call yabridgectl adding the path of the new plugin dll, then call yabridgectl again but this time adding the option to convert plugins (going from memory, can't test it here), then you'll have the Linux loadable .so library in the same path of the windows one. now just add the same place to your Linux DAW plugins path and it will automatically see and load the converted plugins. If you install a new windows plugin, just repeat the two above steps.

One nice and often overlooked feature of loading plugins through the WINE compatibility layer is that many 15+ years old still great plugins that stopped working on Windows ages ago now are perfectly usable again on Linux, with the only problem of having to work with a much smaller GUI since they were created when 1024x768 or smaller desktops were a thing, so they can appear stamp sized on today's monitors, but size aside they work fine.

> The lack of affordable daily driver EVs is what's slowing down adoption here in the US. Hell, even in Vietnam and India there are fleets of low cost EVs now.

Hard disagree. First off, the top selling "cars" in the US are all trucks and SUVs. It seems pretty clear "an affordable daily driver" is not really what US drivers want, and attempts to make these have all turned in to big money losers in the US, save perhaps the Model X (which is still not affordable by your definition).

The comparison to Vietnam and India feels like an apples to oranges comparison. Many of those vehicles are along the lines of "electric auto-rickshaw with a shell" and would be wholly unsuitable for the US market, not to mention US roads.

To be clear, I'm not psyched that everyone in the US seems to prefer a mini-tank, but lack of "small daily drivers" is definitely not what is holding back US EV sales.

I agree to some extent. Though, I don't think it has to be a trade-off though. After a sub-5 second compile time, I go over to get a coffee to ponder the results of the compile rather than imagine what those results might be. Taking time to think is not mutually exclusive to a highly responsive dev process.
I think you're right - I've updated the rules - give it a go and let me know. Thanks for the feedback.
AI for me is an exception to my nuance, simply because it's too powerful and has too many horrible consequences. Yes, your application could be considered good. But what happens if there are people at the waste recycling plant who can't get other jobs? It's not a nice job but we have to first figure out what those people can do.

>Holt loved the ocean, particularly spearfishing... On 17 December 1967, while Holt was spending the weekend at Portsea, he and four companions decided to drive to Point Nepean to watch sailor Alec Rose pass through The Rip on his solo circumnavigation attempt... Holt convinced the group to stop at remote Cheviot Beach for a swim before lunch – he had spearfished there on many previous occasions, and claimed to "know this beach like the back of my hand". Because of the rough conditions, only one other person, Alan Stewart, joined Holt in the water. Stewart kept close to shore, but Holt swam out into deeper water and was seemingly caught up in a rip, eventually disappearing from view. One of the witnesses, Marjorie Gillespie, described it as "like a leaf being taken out [...] so quick and final".

He drowned. There's nothing mysterious about it. We are not living in an Agatha Christie novel.

The point here isn't just that Li Shangfu has disappeared but that the fact of his disappearance has not even been officially acknowledged. If Lloyd Austin had been missing for months, the US government would at least acknowledge this and make some kind of statement about it.

Hey Kiro, thanks - I think you're right. I've updated the game to reflect this, please give it a go.
The lawsuit is against MS and OpenAI. They don't need to be called to action, they're already on the front lines. This is for everyone not already being sued.
Training AI on AI generated data doesn't add anything. The AI already has all the weights to generate the image, so you are at best just reinforcing the existing weights by weighing them more than others.

The closest thing you could do is e.g. have a second model that does something novel like create a 3D model from a 2D image and then you try to animate the model and a third model verifies the quality of the output. This then allows you to selectively reinforce the 2D model using information from the 3D model but this isn't simply generating more training data.

I honestly can't follow your argument. Doing something silly doesn't make you the underdog.
You said in your previous comment:

> The U.S. "won" Korea, Iraq, Vietnam, and Afghanistan in the same sense that they "won" WW2 - those countries were bombed back into the stone age and the existing governments fell.

Now you are saying:

> The government of North & South Korea that I'm speaking of was Japan.

> The government of North & South Vietnam that I'm speaking of was France.

Which completely contradicts what you said before, and is even more wrong.
AFAIK compared to OpenAI and Microsoft, Huggingface and Mistral have no money.

I suppose they could file an amicus brief restating what openai's lawyers will say, but beyond that what are they supposed to do?
When I worked at Chromium there were two major mitigations:

1. Debug compilation was split in shared libraries so only a couple of them has to be rebuilt in your regular dev workflow.
2. They had some magical distributed build that "just worked" for me. I never had to dive into the details.

I was working on DevTools so in many cases my changes would touch both browser and renderer. Unit testing was helpful.

Seems insane to try to prevent the model from reproducing content with a blocklist like this - to say the least, it’s more than just Mario. Plus, how would you possibly code common-sense fair use into the model? What’s the difference between a cartoon mouse and Mickey Mouse? What if it’s parody? This seems beyond ridiculous to try to enforce on the tool level.
Prices are inching down slowly. The Citroen e-c3 is due in 2024 and the price for that is apparently targeted as £21k. MG4 is out now for £26k. 199 and 217 WLTP miles range respectively (and the MG4 is more of a VW Golf/Nissan Leaf sized and equipped car, and receiving very positive reviews from press)

That is pretty amazing really considering not long ago 200 miles range was only available in Teslas and which were priced as luxury cars, compared to early nissan leafs and e-golfs that would only get you 70-80 miles tops (...and let's not even start on the g-Wiz!)

Give it a couple more years and I fully expect 150-200 mile cars for the mid-low teens (GBP), which is roughly equivalent to normal ICE prices now (e.g. non-EV version of Citroen C3 is £14k)
Microsoft and OpenAI are the ones being sued. The call is for other AI companies to help them defend the case. Microsoft doesn't have a choice here.
Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but... where do you find the actual app? Is it only for iOS?
Your comments seem to be non-sequiturs to me. You stated "The lack of affordable daily driver EVs is what's slowing down adoption here in the US."

So why do you think the two most affordable EV options in the US were discontinued? I don't think it's because they were flying out of the showrooms.
