Your initial comment presents Redbean as a comparable solution, which it's not; they serve very different use cases.

Redbean requires you to write server code; Pocketbase does not. Redbean does not offer a realtime database, authentication, an admin dashboard, integrated file storage, or an inbuilt API.

I like Redbean, but it's in a completely different "market sector". It's like comparing a kit car to a luxury car: yes, they both technically serve the same purpose, but one requires much less assembly and offers a much more usable experience out of the box.

After trying everything under the sun, I’ve found the Sculpt to be one of the most comfortable ergonomic keyboards out there, and its priced really well too. The issue is that stupid dongle, I keep loosing it, and the dongle needs a dongle to adapt it to usb-c… I have been waiting for years and hoping they release a bluetooth version without the dongle
One could argue that the LLM are not making any statements at all, as that would require intent and purpose beyond what they can (currently) do. The LLM outputs the most likely token to appear next, based on what it learned during training. This could be anything, and it happens to generate some text that sometimes looks like statements, but is just text generated by lots of math.

Of course I'm not actually arguing this, and have no horses in this race. But not hard to imagine that someone could make this argument and also believe it.
Let's imagine that they settle out of court.

And then in a few years, as AI improves, the NYT relies on AI to write some of their articles (or they rely on AI to proofread and edit their articles).

Can the Times' current arguments be used against them using AI later?
Telling a lie is not illegal by itself. Telling a lie with the intent of harming someone, especially their reputation, is another story.

Perhaps. The awesome part is the launch capabilities that allow them to do that.
This makes Apple more smarter to get a license from the NYT and other news organisations for permission to train on their news content for their AI, than to knowingly attempt to bypass that and scream 'fair use' after profiting off of training on and outputting verbatim paywalled articles without permission from the copyright holder.

News organisations are probably waiting for the NYT to win the case and then similar claims and damages from others could follow; not just from the NYT.

The key claim is this:

> Vicarious copyright infringement (the idea that Microsoft and various OpenAI affiliates directed, controlled and profited from infringement committed by OpenAI OpCo LLC and OpenAI, LLC)

OpenAI knew they needed a license to train their DALL-E AI model from shutterstock, instead of doing so with news organizations, they decided to trample all over it and profit off of copyrighted articles, without permission.

The end result of this is a settlement and licensing deal, a similar likely result for Getty v. Stability.
And the NYT knows that its articles frequently contain false statements too. In this case they were sued for it and won even though they admitted in court that the libelous statements were not true. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/15/business/media/new-york-t.... The actual malice standard is next to impossible to meet.
> I never made that claim and wouldn't defend it. I was arguing that consumers collectively have some power over corporations via their wallets. Consumers can choose not to fly on commercial airlines, or specifically not to take flights on certain models of plane. I never said anything about them being beholden to the public, only the dollar.

Regulation is the answer to this question. Asking a person to not fly and pretending that makes a difference to a huge airline is minimizing how much of a burden it is to have to deal with as an individual (a lot) vs how much difference it might make to the company (none). By comparing it to a democratic vote (mandating a change in government forcing accountability to the populace), I see it as effectively stating that money can take the place of democracy and that means that those with more money get more votes. This is a terrible way to think the world should work, so let's work on getting corporations to do the right thing by making them do it and not hoping they might because we decided not to give them money that they didn't know they didn't get from us.
>Also libel requires "actual malice" which means the libeler needs to know that their statements are false. Good luck showing that with an LLM.

Isn't that easily proven by the text at the bottom of chatgpt: "ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important information."
You are powerful because you _have to_ pay a _former_ president to be at your venue? It screams the opposite, actually. Because if you were really powerful you wouldn't need to pay for that. And it would be a sitting president, not the former one with no actual power anymore.
I'm not super familiar with Microsoft's offerings, but is WPF available cross-platform? It's hard to argue something that is only on one platform is better when it only have to do 25% of what a cross-platform solution would do.

Because when trying to compare different things (car, train, plane, space ship, etc), they all travel at different speeds, by different methods, with different categories.

An example? Travel to the moon would be the safest thing ever, even if 50% of the ships exploded, because of how far it is. I bet travel to Mars would the safest thing ever, based upon miles, even if 99% of the ships exploded.

Things break based upon two things. One is maintenance per trip. And each trip has riskier parts, of which start and end are parts. Planes have issues taking off and landing, a lot more than cruising. Same for space ships. Even cars have issues at start and end of trip, if you're driving very long distances.
I think the best result of this case is that the societal impact of AI is weighed fairly. Both in its potential for good and therefore the need to not overly stifle genuine progress, but also in its potential for replacing jobs for real people—with silicon owned by the hyper wealthy—and therefore the need to set the correct precedent for attribution of works and some form of like royalty. Most of the AI models of late are in someway trained on the collective works of mankind so it seems like, as to prevent the wealthy running off with the whole planet, legislation needs to be defined to make a portion of AI profit get returned to the common man who doesn’t have the aptitude or dumb luck to run a successful unicorn.
I can find no reference of an actual Turing test being done for Eliza. If you look at the link from the article it is clearly demonstrably failing their (different, and more difficult to interpret, but still fair I thiiiink) runs today as well. Note that people constantly willfully misinterpret what a turing test is.

A turing test means you enter into two conversations. Then you pick which one was with a computer. If people answer wrong 50% of the time, the computer is indistinguishable, hence it passes. Note that it is not "People get wrong whether their single conversation is talking to an AI >50% of the time" and it is definitely not "sometimes people don't realize they're talking to an AI". In particular people constantly write about the latter because it generates clicks.

There's group-think alright, but I'm not seeing it where you think it is.

The medical system in the U.S. is awful, and it really is broken that it is tied to a job.

Now they instead gave the opportunity for other bitcoin holders to do good with the /dev/null'ed coins.

Bing/Copilot, as well as Web Browsing in ChatGPT, can look up the news with simple web searches, and (allegedly, according to the lawsuit) bypass certain paywalls doing so. Even when not bypassing paywalls, there's still issues with hallucinations (sometimes I click on a link and it's not even remotely what Bing claims it is) and stripping out things like attributions or referral links (e.g. NYT's Wirecutter makes money through affiliate links).

That they're not part of the main GPT-4 model itself is true, but the lawsuit is against OpenAI and Microsoft, not vs. GPT-4.
The "let's assume the result is proportional to a product of powers" ansatz always threw me off a bit. Why not additive, or including some function of the independent variables? Is there a better justification than "it often gives the correct result?"
That’s one especially disappointing reply.
How is SPA a simpler starting point? It requires more code and more abstractions in the client from the onset. One might argue that that complexity would just exist in the backend in an MPA, but that's not true: there is some additional backend complexity, but not nearly as much as required to support the multitude of clients that exist for the baseline in an MPA.
Please, don't do that!

"People of color" was popularized in the 70s and 80s as a solution to the othering effect of words like "non-white," and not just by white people.

Dr. King preferred "citizens of color." What sets "people of color" apart? Both acknowledge the subject's humanity.

I completely understand where you're coming from but for a better future, try to fight through it for at least a year or two. Such is life, work is work. Not all of it is glamourous.

You are very early into your career and in a pretty great spot. Don't waste it.

Big tech experience will open a lot of opportunities for you and this includes non-career or financial opportunities.

You should still continue with your pet projects. Remember we underestimate what can be achieved in a year.

Wish you all the best!
A lot of cryptostealer malware is bespoke and won't get caught by scanners, but you could start by dropping it into virustotal.

Particularly anything that looks like wallet crackers is frequently full of malware-- as I assume people feel less worry of arrest and less moral concern with robbing other (wanna-be) thieves.

From my experience on bitcointalk ... It's often hard to prove it's malware, as a popular technique is to make the software phone home for some quasi legitimate looking purpose and then have an RCE vulnerability in the phone home interface.

It may even be the same guy that keeps making new trojans that work this way over and over again.
Recently I was reading the Learn CSS the pedantic way book and the definition for inline boxes did not match the way that anonymous block boxes were generated when an inline-level element had a block-level element as its child. So I went looking elsewhere for a more appropriate definition for that case and found this issue on standards: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1477 It was really interesting to know that I was not the only one confused. My question was: Does the inline-box generated by the inline-level element contains the box generated by the block-level child or there wasn't an inline-box that was a parent of them all but there were 2 siblings inline-level boxes of the block-level box that were wrapped in another anonymous block boxes? Reading that issue I got to know the concept of fragments, which I did not know browsers had. But the issue seems to suggest that the box tree for this case should have the inline-box as being a parent of the block-box. Which led me to another question, in that case, if I apply a border to the parent inline-level element, shouldn't it apply to the overall box that is generated (it does not)? The answer is that borders between block-boxes and inline-level boxes should not intersect but that is really difficult to derive from reading the standards alone. Anyway it was headache-inducing trying to learn the box-model pedantically :)
I wish I could learn more about layout in browsers and I trying to read the code of LayoutNG in Chromium but I need more aspirin hehehe
This looks like an interesting list, and I'm probably going to read a few of these. Rare Flavours in particular sounds right up my alley.

It can be hard to tell with the newer graphic novels which ones are more fun than being a work of serious literary fiction to elevate the medium, i.e. often they tend to be downers, at least for a good chunk of the story.

I do like the more serious ones myself, but my partner has a birthday coming up, she loves graphic novels, but she's much more into fun, escapist (but with interesting/strong characters) stories at the moment since her job's been pretty stressful. Does anyone have recommendations for those? This list doesn't seem like it has too many that would fit that.

I got her Nimona for Christmas, after we saw (and loved) the film adaptation for the first one on Netflix, for example.
I'm not all that interested in what Cloudflare can do. I was asking about how Cloudflare Radar does work.
No, this doesn't help at all. It will only stop the header from being parsed twice if it's #included twice in the same .c file, not from being parsed twice if it's #included from two different .c files.
In case of client-server databases one alternative that works great is to open an ssh tunnel using "ssh -L" and just connect using gui tool to it.

The jump from JS to the microsoft world is always hard. Hell, jumping from anywhere into microsoft environments has to be hard. No surprise that it was a difficult transition if that wasn't in your background so far. The docs alone will cause a culture shock!

> But for me, with a project with increasingly complex display logic and validation

It always sucks if the requirements are not clear in the beginning, if the dev can't anticipate how they will grow in advance?

But what has validation to do with it? That's completely backend, how would that have been easier with React+Next?

> As an aside, I was surprised that getting HMR with C# is kind of a pain.

Proper systems dynamically interpret their templates on every request in dev mode because of this, like Ruby/Sinatra does.
It’s one thing if it’s your own musings. But moonlighting as a comedian is completely different. A comedian is playing a character - it’s an act. They may or may not believe what they say and it doesn’t matter because the point is to get a laugh. It would be like firing a person because outside of work they act and played a particularly nasty character in some production.
I guess my question is, addicted to what? A smartphone is a Swiss Army knife, it can do anything. Addicted to social media? I can see that. Addicted to real time communication, like texting? Or watching videos? Reading?

That’s like saying, I’m addicted to my car, so I used a horse and buggy for a month.

What’s the maladaptive use case that we see with phones? Maybe it differs person-to-person. My time on my phone is spent checking work emails throughout the day, personal emails maybe once a day, making/receiving several phone calls, text messaging, and reading dozens of articles a day (and skimming hundreds more) ok topics I find personally interesting and relevant to my work. And passively consuming TikTok as I would consume television (as in, not in a way that would ordinarily be construed as social media).

Each of those tasks could be done by other devices, and each task in isolation isn’t problematic. But put them all together and it’s a problem because the device is in my pocket?
To be fair, this could also be said about everyday life too, which is also why folks with Aspergers (like myself) tend to struggle. Social norms seem to basically down to "don't speak out unless absolutely necessary, especially not against authority figures"

Easy and logical for more tribalistic folks that live in terror of becoming outcasts, but not remotely reasonable for people who don't/can't live in this restrictive setup.
In terms of tone, it’s quite different, but in terms of governance Trump’s term was a pretty standard GOP term with the exception of immigration and foreign policy—which aren’t issues at the state level. Tax cuts, bootstraps, etc.

Calling Trumpism an extension of Bircherism is a coping mechanism, seeing as how the GOP is winning record shares of minorities under Trump. Instead, the Trump GOP is a hybrid of the Reagan GOP and Jacksonian/Jeffersonian populism. The opposition to immigration given the prospect of cultural change also appeals to many immigrants who left those places for good reasons. My parents immigrated to Ronald Regan's America, not Kamala Harris's America.

Florida is a tremendously well governed state. It has great schools, low taxes, low debt, a booming economy, etc. I know multiple families that moved there from Illinois and New York in the last couple of years.

And so there will continue to be people who are unemployable because they're unreliable. We need both kinds of jobs; it shouldn't be impossible to have an economy where both exist...

In fact we already do but the day-labor is done illegally under the table which makes it harder for low-motivation/ability people to get into. Besides, companies don't want unskilled day labor for most semi-skilled work anyway because the workers would do more damage than good, so regular jobs will still exist if irregular day labor is legalized and legitimized. For safe measure, make it illegal to refuse a day worker in Wednesday because he didn't show up on Tuesday, no implied fulltime contracts for day laborers, so companies will have to hire people on for regular jobs for work that requires training and regularity. Violations can be investigated at the government's expense, as is already the case with Department of Labor investigations.
He also seems to invest in projects that have very little hope of accomplishing anything on Mars.

His humanoid robot is pointless for space exploration and the Cybertruck isn't going to be sent to Mars.

Where are his rovers? Where are his space probes? Where is his space suit for Mars? He has done nothing to make it possible to start a Mars mission. He constantly advertises a proto starship year for year to go to Mars but he could have done smaller scale projects with the Falcon 9. The fact remains that he has nothing to send to Mars except humans to their death.

Assuming this case is decided decisively in the NYT's favor, what would the effects be on the competitiveness of the US AI industry against other countries that aren't beholden to the ruling? Is the panacea really just as simple as licensing the data for training? Will the NYT et all even allow that? Surely one can't get licenses from each and every website they use data from, so the only way to compete would be to be more clever with less data, right?
It's getting old. The writers Emily Glazer and Kirsten Grind are the same journalists who claimed Elon was having an affair with Sergey Brin's ex-wife, Nicole Shanahan. It's the same modus operandi, quoting "people familiar with the matter".
That story fizzled out after Elon posted a brunch photo with Sergey and asked Nicole to sue WSJ.
The outcome of this is probably going to be the same as similar cases — the end user (ie OpenAI in this case) must properly follow the law. It could be the media companies using AI that must evaluate the legality though.

In any case, AI is a tool, not capable of reasoning. As such, the end user is responsible for ensure all applicable laws are followed. This is always the case. You wouldn’t sue Microsoft for copy & paste would we? It lets you copy people’s work.

Imo the NYT case is pretty damn weak, because derived works are fair game. I can even read their article in full and provide comments on it, and it’s legal (provided the objective isn’t to share the copyrighted work)
I think it's just as nonsensical that American policy is so deeply influenced by conservative Christian beliefs, yet whenever the Pope makes a call, the White House picks up the phone.

I also think it's nonsensical that whenever this story pops up on HN[0], the bulk of effort goes into ridiculing the Navajo for having the gall to expect anyone to respect their religion, rather than discussing whether or not making a business of dumping corpses (or anything) on the moon is a good idea. Because, you know, maybe the Navajo have a point.

Even if one doesn't believe using the moon as a landfill will have any long-term effects worth considering (and that's certainly debatable), the utility of the time, money, effort and pollution towards what seems like vanity should be open to criticism.

I'm reminded of a (relatively) recent story[0] posted about the politics of the original moon landings, and how many people in the black community considered it little more than a lark for white people and a waste of money that could better be spent tackling the necessary issues of poverty and systemic racism, and also of the story currently running about[0] how many Americans are currently living in their cars and I can't help but wonder whether this is a good use of resources at all, or just another chance for the rich to flex on the poors.

I think it's at least worth considering, even if the issue is only being brought up by those silly people with the feathers in their hair.

I think that’s his point: the legal fiction goes back to Roman law and is specifically invariant when used for questions of constitutional equality or egalitarianism.
I don’t see how. If they own the content (which in the outlined scenario they would) they could do whatever they want with it. The argument is about unauthorized use of copyrighted materials, not just using AI in general.
