> We have trains in Germany that can do 350km/h but I've yet to ride one that goes faster than 200, probably because the rails aren't what they're used to be.

no, they never built high speed rails in germany simply. a decision that baffles me. whereas france has been at it for 30 years for example.

All this is going to do is make open source LLM's stronger in the long run. https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboar...

Good luck suing a nonprofit open-source LLM for this.

Also, the linked article uses the phrase "very strong case" while the subject here uses "strong case"; given that other lawsuits in this space have already been challenged (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/sar...), isn't the "strength" of the case very subjective?
But, that is a form of simplicity. It’s kind of the UNIX approach. I use Preact and a typed RPC client and a very simple router. The result is a reasonably small, easy-to-reason about program that I find very enjoyable to work on. If Preact shipped with their own communication layer and router, that would reduce the simplicity, and I’m not sure I’d actually like the choices they made for the part of the stack that is unrelated to rendering. Angular is an example of what you describe, and it’s not for me.
Inmarsat has been offering that since at least 2008.

I take issue with describing hallucinations as lies. They're most certainly not. There is no culpable agent with the ability to determine whether or not they are telling the truth. There is no intent, positive or negative, behind the generations.

The generated statements may be inaccurate but they cannot be called lies. To do would be a dangerous level of anthropomorphization in the legal sphere.
Because they break when a request fails. MPAs have a request resubmission UI out of the box. They also have request history navigation, easy resource bookmarking and other stuff you can reimplement in an SPA but usually don't.

I think another issue we have is that Mur had to put in roughly the amount of work needed to get a publication, without any public acknowledgment. He's a postdoc, who should be spending time on getting sufficient quantity/quality of publications to warrant tenure or tenure track somewhere. This entire process was of benefit to science in general and the journal specifically, yet they refused to give him even the (academically lesser) credits of a comment published in their journal.

To add some context: a postdoc position typically lasts 1 or 2 years. The investigation plus discussion with the journal easily took 4 months - at least a sixth of the good dr.'s time. And he's got nothing to show for it - he isn't even named in the retraction notice. In this case, it would have been trivial for the journal to do better... but they opted to do nothing, even after being notified of problems, until they received a thorough description. Which they then rejected.

TLDR: the journal's editors, likely all tenured academics, refused to take action when notified and refused to give credit once a postdoc spent months of their time.
The statement is equally hyperbolic both as quoted and in the original context. LLMs often can't quote sources, and those models are nevertheless useful to lots of people. Makes it hard for me to take the rest of the comment seriously.

I tend to make all my pages function without Javascript even if I don't expect my users to turn off Javascript. It makes things easier to cover with automated tests if I can just exercise my backend servers with scripts vs. a headless browser, and if something does go wrong with serving Javascript or something it's nice to know my site is functional.

Generally speaking the experience will be horrible (what should be a modal or a partial page reload will be a full reload) but using the technologies I use it's not that hard and it makes my development experience easier while delivering some (rarely needed) benefits to end users, so it's an unqualified win for my particular use case.
> the official documentation always talks about the changes between commits, or the change introduced by a commit (which means the changes to the parent commit)

That's exactly what i was referring to. If you have a commit, that is both a snapshot (as stored in the tree reference) and a change (because it has references to parent commits, which are also snapshots). Of course the wording is factually accurate, but it refers to computing the change, because that's how it is best explained, and how those commands (rebase/cherry-pick/revert) work conceptually.

If you try to understand those commands without thinking about diffs, you can come unstuck.

Commands like reset of course don't talk about changes, because that's not relevant for how they work. Understanding both models and their equivalence is helpful, IMO.
There are quite a few papers that indicate that the important factor is the quality of the data, regardless of where it is sourced from. You still need a lot of it so throwing out large chunks of your training set does work against you whether you're doing that for legal reasons or quality reasons. The solution appears to be synthetic, high quality data generated by another model but that makes it a bit of a chicken and egg problem where you need a high quality model like GPT-4 to produce high quality data reliably. I think there are methods for getting around this using less capable models by producing a lot more examples and then using another model to judge the quality of each example and only selecting the best ones. I also suspect you could get pretty far by permuting a smaller set of high quality data to produce a lot more examples that have the same meaning but differ in how they are written.
Because larger LLMs can reproduce text verbatim, speed readers probably not:

These conversations never consider that the US does offer pretty robust welfare programs for cases just like this. He would undoubtedly meet the case for 'disabled' as defined by the Social Security Administration if he lost his insurance and had low/no income. Pennsylvania also offers additional medical assistance if you meet that guideline.
Accessibility workers have to hear rather too much of the "these people aren't relevant to the business" arguments. And while every business has its own concerns and priorities, standards based on exclusion don't belong on the web.

Yea, tools and processes they’ve decided on decades ago. You don’t see these people writing blog posts about new tools and wasting time evaluating them yearly like in tech.

If there’s an actual issue like there was with deaths in the medical profession due to not washing hands, then they evaluate.

it's not. Why isn't photoshop being sued as copyright infringement? People can reproduce infringing works in it easily enough.

How is pressing buttons in photoshop different to pressing buttons in chatGPT?
Sorry for coming in hot, I believe you that that's not what you intended.

But even rereading it now, as charitably as I can, it still to me seems to say something pretty close to "people feeling bad is not valid." Even knowing what you intended, that's what it says. So idk, maybe we both have something to learn here regardless of my bad mood or whatever.
I don’t know. Recently I was viewing an image in the Discord web app and it suddenly disappeared because my device had lost connection, even though the image was already fully loaded in the browser.
One difference is that server interactions on a MPA are usually more predictable. I can wait for a good internet connection to submit a form or click a link. On top of that, I'm using browser navigation to navigate a lot of the time, and while it's not impossible to provide good feedback about interactions in a SPA, many sites don't (or worse, use optimistic UI updates without handling failure states well so it's impossible to tell what's persisted and what's not).
I think the thing they want to communicate here is the training method. Rather than a pick and place tool path, this is just trained on videos of someone using a coffee machine, and imitating that.

Which… now that I think about it… is probably drawing a skeleton over top of the video Kinect-style, and… drawing a tool path…

But at least it seems to understand when it’s made a mistake, which is interesting.

> The definitions of racism and sexism are not expanding.

Half-agree. Society at large's tolerance for racism and sexism has gone way down, particularly among young people, which is what most "older" people experience as "expanding definitions" - the 1945-born generations for example grew up in a time where it was completely normal to openly discriminate against Black people [1] or women [2], so they see that change as a threat to how they grew up, they see the criticism from young people as a direct offense against them.

> You're speaking as if it's a given that the issue comes down to software not being people, therefore society as a group can make software do whatever it wants even if it doesn't own it.

Yes. It's an object or writing. Not a person. You're arguing for giving personhood to software right now and that's crazy.
“ Imagine we have a model but don't train it with the copyrighted data. But we train if with every review ever made public about it.”

Those reviews are also copyrighted works.
I don’t understand what you mean by entire lifestyle. The article and discussion is about semi-homeless people living in their car.

This gotta be against AWS's term... When you sign up for AWS SES, they ask you very detailed questions about how you'll monitor bounces, deal with spam reports, etc. I don't see how you can do that and then hand your keys to another service to do things in there own way.

Also, what is the point of giving this service your AWS creds rather than them using AWS directly? Since they charge you anyway?
The law is written for the benefit of humans, American law specifically for Americans. It is not written to benefit software. Humans are special
Good thing they don't have to. As I've said before, this slight of hand to talk about the case as-if its about training is a great move by OpenAi; however the case is more than just about training. NYT is alleging that OpenAI maintains a database of NYT works and refers to it verbatim (per-prompt) as part of the ChatGPT software and not via some pre-trained wieghts.

This is akin to having to explain to non-technical lawyers and judges how crypto works. In the FTX case it became irrelevant because you can just nail them on fraud for using deposited funds for non-allowed reasons.
Assuming that software won't receive legal personhood seems like a pretty good foundation. If that's no longer the case, you have much crazier things to worry about than copyright infringement.
Prototype and cheap are usually mutually exclusive.

I take advantage of paperless options everywhere and got burned by the "Paperless DMV Vehicle Renewal Notice" going to SPAM. I had to pay pretty hefty late fee (a few hundred dollars).

Since that event, I've flipped the switch back to "snail mail" and will resist the constant nagging until they implement a paper fallback (i.e. notify by email first and if it's not paid within X weeks of deadline, fire off a paper notification).

You didn't provide any argument supporting your assertions. So your critical thinking is not really that critical, because you can't really defense your claim.

> People disabling JS or working on satellite internet from a remote island are fringe cases and are not relevant for the business.

Satellite internet (even before Starlink) is actually plenty fast for a modern website, as long as delivery is halfway optimized to avoid a thousand round trips.

It’s people on mobile phones in 3rd-world countries that suffer the most, but they end up with specially optimized websites and even separate mobile apps if they’re a target market.

People who disable JS are virtually non-existent in the real world, outside of bubbles like HN comments. Building technology strategies to cater to this tiny minority is not a good decision.
Looking good, great stuff! This is going to be like those free character counter websites for me. Definitely something I could do on my own, but super handy as a single-serving website.

Party A explains how to send bitcoin to them but used a well known wallet address in their documentation/guide (Satoshi's).

Party B didn't use Party A's address and committed a bad case of copy-pasta.

I've read what you've written. I won't give you a long argument about why therapy can help someone in you situation because you won't buy it.

But I will say that as someone who spends all day with people that have have his kind of intelligence, therapy is for you. Recontexualizing your life, past and present, as well as your future path is pretty much bread and butter CBT.

Too many smart people have the disease of "I know better, therapy can't help" which is why for example elite institutions have the highest suicide rates. You're falling into that trap, but it's a catch 22, once you're in it, you won't be able to logically argue your way out. Just take the leap and go to therapy.
It's still a horrible name. Doesn't roll off the tongue, unfamiliar to a broad audience, connotations of extinction. And don't even get me started on "toot".

> Is there an alternative renderer/something that handles "complex and long-lived $something-trees with dynamic changes" better than web engines does?

Literally everything else.

My favorite recent example is: 1000 objects with complex behaviour, lighting and animations takes 4 microseconds to render, at 9:36: https://youtu.be/kXd0VDZDSks?si=PjqeFVoSTPSsbdIk

> They've been optimized for just that during decades at this point

You can't optimize beyond the limitiations of the ad-hoc hackish nature of the web. There's only so much optimisation you can do when even the simplest of things will cause re-flow and re-render o the entire page.

Well, games redraw the entire screen, but they can draw thousands of objects in a fraction of time it takes the web browser to figure out how to layout them.

Edit:

- Figma had to reimplement everything from scratch in WebGL because browsers (that is, DOM) are just bad

- Google Docs and Google Sheets reimplemented everything in canvas, once again bypassing the "greatest renderer on earth" to be able to render and control the rendering.
> GP agrees with you? DC and marvel are what most americans think all comics are

And I'm saying that's not even an accurate description of DC or Marvel.
Why do you assume this is the case? When a reporters story gets optioned for a movie they receive money, sometimes significant, from that
Virustotal doesn't give any alert [1]. Good opportunity to analyze it by myself.

>Stuff like filtering search results is very easily accomplished by a MPA with query parameters to a results page.

But the "MPA to another results page" causing an HTML reload with a flickering blank screen is a jarring UI experience.

The issue isn't what's "easy" to implement. Instead, users prefer a fluid and responsive UI. An example of a website that has superfast filters in SPA style instead of "MPA results page" is McMaster-Carr: https://www.mcmaster.com/

On that website, when the user changes the categories or filters, the results of items instantly change without the jarring disruption and delay of a new page being loaded.

There were several previous HN threads about it. Based on the near-universal praise in the comments of those threads, I don't think converting McMaster architecture to your suggested "MPA search results" would be considered an improvement. :

I assume you're unfamiliar with anonymous sources - said "a person familiar with the matter."

The issue isn't usefulness, and it isn't even objective quality. News outlets are primarily about opinion forming and marketing, not about absolute truthfulness.

This is a simple corporate fight about the value of that IP.

The NYT wants a licensing deal, and it's likely to get one.

That's all.
Personally, I wouldn't use that unless it synced between my desktop and mobile. At that point it might as well be a webapp...

Currently using FreshRSS and happy with it. Granted, the fact that it installs on a server means it's not for general use though.
> It’s the reason why a simple web form requires 100 MB of bandwidth to deal with.

I have a hard time taking these arguments seriously because they get so exaggerated on HN.

I’ve done a lot of work from flights and extremely low bandwidth, high latency connections in foreign hotels. Not once have I encountered anything like a web form taking 100MB.
Interesting then that the article challenges conventional wisdom, arguing for more armor on slower ships.
The law tends to follow the money. I just don't see a future where a copyright ruling kills AI dead. If the courts rule in favor of NYT, congress will just change the law.
From my brief look at my log and history usage and generally my estimate, 95%, or dare I say 99% in terms of my traffic could be a MPA. Currently the only site I go regularly that are JS SPAs are Feedly, Youtube, Discourse Forums and Twitter. And apart from Twitter the others could have been MPAs and still be perfectly fine. ( Although Youtube is debatable ) I did like to think 80-90% of the web population browsing usage dont deviate from mine that much.

The thing about JS SPA is that they are hard to make it 100% right. Even the simplest thing. And this goes back to the topic about Web Development and computing. Modern day web is designed by Google for Google. Making things easier for 98% of the web simply isn't their thing. And that is not just on the Web but everything else they do as well. And since no one gets fired for using what Google uses, we then end up with additional tools to solve the complexity of what Google uses.

Depending on how you count it we are now fast coming close to 20 years of Google dominance on the web. And there hasn't been a single day I didn't wish for an alternative to compete with them. I know this sounds stupid. But may be I should start another Yahoo.
maybe the textbook definition hasn't changed, but the interpretation (and application of said interpretations) certainly have in the United States. Especially since the hijacking of "being woke" by white people.
