Thanks but I'm not a vampire.
I liked the idea of these games and own the 3DS game and 2 on the Switch. I like making levels, but for the most part I haven’t had a lot of fun playing other people’s levels.

I gave up on the games because it seemed like most of the user submitted content were weird non playable machines where people bend the rules of the engine to hurl Mario along to the goal automatically.

Interesting to see that, but it got to the point where I saw nothing else, and it’s been on the shelf for years.

What are some pros and cons of using OpenBSD instead of Linux?
The problem with that approach is not only the time and effort to capture and analyze the trace, but that the workload changes over the application's lifetime. When the workload is expensive and important then cache analysis is worth doing, and there are cache simulators that are pretty easy to work with.

For the general case the ideal is an eviction policy that adapts to fit the given workload. Unfortunately adaptivity is not a very well explored area so most policies have heuristic settings that default to work well in a target range of workloads, but this has to be tuned for others. In this and the author's other paper, S3-FIFO, their lower hit rates with TinyLFU turned out to be due to the implementation. When running it with Caffeine, a productionized version that adds hill climbing and jitter, it had equivalent hit rates [1]. That cache is pretty robust across a wide range of workloads, but also much more complicated to implement. I'd really like to see more research on adaptivity because I think all policies are converging on similar structures and goals, but self-tuning is still an error prone art.

Life with Google is much better. Google isn't telling my employer which OS and which DB I have to use to build solutions. Oh sure, if I need a web UI then it needs to run correctly on Chrome, but that's an order of magnitude less than what Microsoft was mandating. Microsoft wanted EVERYTHING. Google is after web advertising.

Also, I don't support the use of ad blockers. If you don't want ads, then don't visit the site. You and I may have different ideas as to what constitutes the free web. When I'm talking about "free", I'm talking about free as in freedom, not free as in beer.

Because it's about copy rights, not copy obligations.

Fair use only applies to works you can use; it doesn't force their original authors/owners to publish them in the first place.
isn't that the point of paying for it in the first place? to get an algo that doesn't suck and no interruptions?

plus content creators losing the ability to choose their own thumbnail feels unfair. it's like telling magazines they can't design their own cover, and will pull a random page (which could just as easily be an ad) to be the cover. I'm not sure how that would make it any better.

> digital media and entertainment,

This site really shows why Me was a failure: getting in the user's way. One cannot copy something from the site.

Microsoft was against digital media. You wanted mp3 ? Winamp. Wanted to play movies ? Xvid player.

They crippled Me so that people could not play their favourite DOS games anymore. The system was very unstable. It will crash by itself only with the desktop running. All iin all it was a failure.
The analog to strace in macOS would be dtruss.

(AFAICT after some quick Googling, Linux strace is patterned after the old SunOS command, truss. SunOS had a trace(1) utility, too, but truss is the successor with features like fork following. So basically Linux strace == SunOS truss, and in the DTrace world strace == dtruss. If I have the history wrong, please correct me.)
No. Stock price requires higher per share values.

One can continuously grow a stock if they reduce the shares outstanding.

That being said iirc buy backs have notoriously all gone to executives. Essentially they buy back, and then award themselves options to re-dilute, but cannot readily find a source for that. So maybe incorrect.

Comes off as a weak response IMO.

* They allow an opt out for training – but it was introduced in August 2023 and they don't retroactively clean up their model once you do opt out.

* Regurgitation is a rare bug – doesn't mean it isn't a problem, or one they cannot be sued over.

* Prompts that get ChatGPT to regurgitate are "not typical or allowed user activity" – this is the weakest excuse of all. It is their responsibility to control user behavior on a system they built. If I can type something in and get the response I want then I am using it in the intended way. Otherwise nothing on the internet can ever be illegal, because hey the user was the one who typed the URL.
I don’t know anything about fuzzing (my code promises not to crash for valid inputs… and defines valid inputs as those which don’t cause it to crash, hah!)

I wonder, though, if you are producing a library, you probably expect the user to only provide inputs within some ranges. Is there a nice way for these fuzzing environments to talk back and forth—here’s my calling code, here fuzzer figure out what ranges it can produce and only fuzz the library for those ranges?

Not as CGI is currently designed. Many components of the request, like the HTTP headers, request method, and path, get passed to the CGI script as environment variables.

You could redesign CGI to change this, of course. But at that point, you've lost compatibility with existing CGI scripts, and you might as well use FastCGI and/or HTTP over a socket instead.
The problem is not that people can "trick" the system into reproducing this data. The problem is that the data was used for training without permission.

Ah thanks. The team's efforts on emulation paid off!

So right now, we only support Gradle or frameworks that internally rely on Gradle like React Native and Flutter. But adding custom build tools support is in our roadmap. We are also open-sourcing our Android builder codebase soon, so the community will be able to add any custom build tool and hook with our emulation and the other workflows.

> Twitter could have fired nobody and the advertising revenue would have still declined, those two things were mostly unrelated.

Unrelated in the short term. In the long term, I disagree.

Twitter is not that interesting of an app that users are flocking to it, nor it is so fundamentally different from any of its competitors and essential as a social network, that it would have a captive audience.

Twitter user base peaked in 2022. There haven't been any new major features, no concrete plans, but regardless, they have not enough manpower to implement them even if they wanted to.

> As far as innovation, though, Elon has stated he wants X to be the 'everything app' similar to whatever it is they use in China, in particular payments.

Good luck with that. People in the US, and especially the EU, don't like to have their payment apps linked to their social media. It's not like big tech hasn't tried already, e.g. Google Wallet, Facebook Pay, SnapCash, etc.

East Asia runs on a different gear. They have their own "everything apps", e.g. Kakao, Line, WeChat. Musk is not going to convince them to switch, that's for sure, and I highly doubt he would succeed where so many others have failed, definitely not with a withering platform like Twitter.
Then they just hire consultants for overseas training.
legal right is less important to us than being good citizens. We have led the AI industry in providing a simple opt-out process for publishers (which The New York Times adopted in August 2023)

So what does this mean for all content trained before August 2023?

Without Google, YouTube, and Dropbox, copyrighted material would just be where the copyright holder deemed and authorized it to be.
(save some amount of piracy of course)

It would actually be more in line with the “Internet idea” of a decentralized network, not a massive hub and spoke arrangement.

Saying, “Hey, we already have some big corporations where copyright infringement plays some role in their business model, why not add a few more in the form of “Open”AI, and whoever else.” Is not a good argument.

The centralized server farms and behemoth corporations are in many ways representative of what the commercial internet has become, but are not a fulfillment of the original “internet idea.”
This was pre-internet and in remote areas where there is a distrust of central authority.

And there are loads of examples through history up till current day that show that blindly trusting authorities is naive. Heck, even in the article, some doctors were poisoning their patients with iodine. It is not far fetched that some people in these areas were informed of these problems. So a tiny amount kills us... and so you are saying any even tinier amount will save us. I'd be pretty skeptical too.

It seems that when presented well and with personally verifiable evidence, people were willing to accept.

I am really flabbergasted when people blindly accept in mass what authorities tell us.
If you get a speeding ticket, likely the evidence is the word of the police officer who clocked you speeding. There's no way to go back in time, stand next to the officer and verify he actually directed the speed measuring device to your care and observed the number. Even if there's an audit trail - most of cases have nothing of the sort - it's extremely hard to verify it beyond any possibility of error. Other ticketable offenses - like rolling over stop or reckless driving - may have even less possible verification. And yet, if you tell the judge "your honor, there's absolutely no evidence I was doing that", while the police officer is standing right there testifying you did it, you probably won't find too much sympathy. Obviously, your understanding of what constitutes "true evidence" is not widely accepted.

Show HN: Using Stable Diffusion to show you in awesome outfits you can buy
Hey everyone! I'm Masha, Stanford alum and creator of Fotofit.

Fotofit is a shopping app where you can see outfits in any style on you, and buy those outfits.

I'm using an LLM to generate descriptions of outfits that fit your preferences, and using SD to generate the images of them.

I came up with the idea after using social media for outfit inspiration. It was tough to find outfits in my style, and even if I did find them, I didn't know how they would look on me or how to buy the items to recreate that outfit.

With Fotofit, you can search in natural language for whatever style / vibe you want ("Date night outfits for NYC winter", "Something in between formal and casual"), see thousands of outfits in that style on you, and tap to buy the items from your preferred brands, in your size and budget.

It works for men's and women's styles.

Please try the app, I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
instead of posting a poorly informed take, you should go and have a look at their list of product offerings. They havent been just a "notification API" for a long time now.
Because the 5090 ostensibly targets gaming which only needs sufficient vram to display images on 4k textures on 4k, 5k and ultra-wide monitors. A large portion of the 5090 audience is not doing ML training and that vram would sit idle for a few monitor generations. As a gamer I would be kind of upset if they included that very expensive unneeded vram in their already very expensive cards.
Seriously. Half of the Silicon Valley show was lampooning this corporate excess of frivolous indulgence.

> In my 32 years in the industry the best performing companies always did these things regardless of the macroeconomic climate.

What companies?

Some of the best performing public tech companies of the past 30 years include Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Nvidia, and Microsoft.You can get some variety in this list by varying the exact start and end dates, but certainly the first 4 are going to make most lists. Others like Google and Facebook handily beat the total market.

Certainly a lot of companies that never went public (Instagram, WhatsApp, Credit Karma, etc...) performed very well for their investors when they got acquired. And some companies that since going public haven't been blockbuster successes, like Snowflake, still were probably very lucrative for their VCs and other early investors.

Anyway, I don't feel like most of the really great performing companies that come to my mind are particularly "fun," but maybe I maybe I'm not paying attention and/or don't know because I don't work at them.
I'm not sure either way. While my naïve thought is that factual knowledge ought to be distinct from knowledge of language comprehension, I can't think how to actually do that — how do you riff on a quotation without knowing the quotation? How can you read between the lines if you are given half a phrase where the point is in the unspoken other half?

I don't know enough about amnesia to know if humans even separate these things or not.

If they are separable, LLMs can be made much smaller without loss of comprehension, as "mere facts" can easily be punted off the network and into a pool of searchable documents.

Without that capability, we'd have to teach the models that verbatim quotes are not allowed, just as we have to tell each other about copyright law because humans can recall things sometimes — and in mere conversation it's considered unremarkable (or even good!) if our mouths or hands reproduce perfect reproductions. Poems, pledges, anthems, quotes…

Jose, if you come across this, I just want to express my gratitude to you for Elixir and for everything you've done for the Elixir community. The thoughtfulness and adeptness you bring to the language and the community is so very much appreciated. This change is such an excellent example of the steadiness and diligence you have led with. So rarely does a single individual that I am not interpersonally close to have such an outsized impact on my day-to-day happiness. Thank you, Jose.
I think my thesis is non-controversial and entirely obvious. So I suspect we diverge on definitions rather than have a factual disagreement.

Tesla is big tech (today). SpaceX isn't only because it is niche, and hasn't gone public. Both are 20 years old, and have for the last two decades been the most exciting companies in their respective segments, by far. This allows them to compete very favorably.

GM is boring, slow and makes many public mistakes. GM filed for bankruptcy in 2009. It has to pay a significant premium to hire equivalent talent and offers significant career risk, especially to young employees.

I actually think Starlink is a super cool project, even if I wish someone else was in charge of it. I'm grateful that Musk managed to make electric cars "cool", and that his personality will make them more acceptable to conservatives that might otherwise have a knee-jerk resistance, and I think that Tesla actually did a lot to push the technology and the economy of electric cars. I think it's wonderful that we're investing more into space, even if, again, I would prefer someone else to be in the drivers' seat.

I absolutely recognize Musk's contribution to things that I value and respect.

I also think it's a little absurd how often he's brought up in completely unrelated discussions. It's a little like how whenever someone mentions that at-home electricity storage is a bit of an open question, people bring up flywheels, even though Powerwalls are a much more reasonable approach, just because they think flywheels are rad. The amount of times people try to shoehorn a Musk-related technology, (or even say "Hey let's get Elon on this, I bet his infinite money and brains could solve e.g. food distribution with um drones and Starlink and Boring Company I don't know he'll figure it out) makes it a little hard to take his biggest proponents seriously.
Fuzzing and constrained random, while both based on randomisation, are not the same thing.

A big problem of fuzzers from the point-of-view of hardware validation is that it's unclear what coverage guarantees they give. Would you tape out your processor design, once your fuzzer no longer finds bugs, if you had no idea about test coverage? OTOH, fuzzing has been very effective in software, so it is natural to ask if those gains can also be had for hardware.

Why does writing about the acts of others apply a layer of ownership when the impetus was the act of another? Without them the journalist has nothing.

All GPT4 is doing is writing about the act of your writing, same way a journalist only creates from the act of another, would make sense if the individuals the journo writes about got paid a percentage for the act that caused the writing.

Seems hypocritical to claim the chain of writing about ends with you when you have nothing without others first acting when the page was blank.
