Artifact had potential, but it didn't quite meet my expectations due to an overload of random news articles. I believe the future of news aggregators lies in their ability to synthesize content. Have you checked Debriefs AI ?(https://debriefs.ai). They allow users to curate their favorite newsletters and sources into unique workspaces. The standout feature for me is its capability to create key insights with AI, which can be tailored to the frequency of my choosing. If you're in search of a customized news experience, Debriefs AI is a service I highly recommend.
Software does more than it used to. Try using an old PC, say Windows 98. You will be amazed how little functionality there is. It didn't even come with full-screen desktop wallpaper.
Sounds like he's using one of those extensions that blocks all JavaScript. I tried once, and gave up after 2 days. I hated having to whitelist everything.

I use uBlock Origin on my desktop, and uBlock Origin + PiHole on my phone, and there are only a couple websites that refuse to work, and so I just don't use those sites.
I don't think this is due to anti-socialist propaganda, if anything progressive social policies are more popular than ever before.

If anything this is due to social media amplifying and glamorizing people that loudly demonstrate how fit, rich, happy or whatever they are so they can sell their method of getting fit, rich, happy, etc.

The USA has always been an individualistic society compared to most, the entire point of capitalism is to leverage individuals greed. That spurs them to create more value for society than leveraging their sense of duty.

The problem we have right now is that the governmental agencies that are supposed to curb bad actors are not performing well. The FCC should have ended robo spam calls years ago.
That's what I was thinking, which means you're not actually giving Apple your CC number.
It's a charger issue, did any one read the damn article?
I don't know why these aren't the default.

It electrifies the 99% use case of commuting, driving around cities etc. and allows for road trips without range anxiety.

And expands the operating temperature significantly over electric.
For sure, that could be an instance of infringement depending on how it is used. But that's a minuscule percentage of the output and still might be fair use (read the decision in Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google, Inc.). But even if that instance is determined to be infringement, it doesn't mean the process of training models on copyrighted work is also infringement.
> That's literally built into their corporate rules for how to take investment money, and when those rules were written they were criticised because people didn't think they'd ever grow enough for it to matter.

How is OpenAI compensating the owners of IP they trained their models on? Or is that not what you mean? It's certainly how I read the part of the GP comment you quoted.
Perhaps this is an opportunity to ask somebody who might know about BSON performance. As a POC/stress test for work I added two multi-GB datasets to Postgres (as JSONB) and to Mongo (BSON). While trying to query approximately a hundred megabytes of data (a few hundred documents) from each I found that Postgres executed the query and decoded the JSON data in under a second, while it took Mongo a few seconds.
Does this mean that BSON is slow to deserialize? Or perhaps it is not related to serialization? I was quite confused.
TLDR: US close to finalizing a double-taxation agreement with Taiwan (though it would still need to be approved by Congress to take effect).

The new deal would reduce a 30% withholding rate to 10% on interest and royalties, and 15% on most dividends. It also simplifies tax issues when dealing with Taiwanese businesses and independent contractors.
How the fuck you gonna use Reddit for job searching ?
My 2 cents - people often compare this AI to automation that came before say the printing press, or automatic fabric production . But it’s actually far worse.

If all the calligraphers drop dead, the printing press still works. If everyone who hand makes fabrics drops dead, the automatic fabric machines continue to develop.

But midjourney doesn’t work without artists, it depends on them like a parasite depends on its host. Once the host dies, the parasite is doomed.

So it’s value-destroying, more vandalism than capitalism. Or maybe like Viking pillaging. It’s like the people who used to burn millions of penguins alive to convert their fat into oil.

Is there some way to reliably simulate this, e.g. using a VM? It would be nice to have IDE, build tools etc. using all available speed while running the output as if it was on slower hardware.
Yeah um, the British Empire? Anybody?

A small island off the coast of Europe got VERY RICH off of imperialism.
Arguably there is - training is not a copyright violation imo. I think it's more akin to you viewing the art and then later making your own thing, you get an intuition/inspiration from what you've seen.

The other complaints are mostly about how it has become hard to not share to social media, but that's mostly a complaint about how people are.

He can still just post on a website, it's not really the fault of social media companies that people prefer that.
My "favorite" thing about these stories is all the anti-EV'rs coming out and going "hahaha, stupid EV drivers". Except they don't realize their ICE car is part of the problem. These extremely unusual storms and cold snaps are part of climate change and their pointing and laughing is only going to make things worse.

At the end of the day, the real story is that EV's are having teething problems in unusual cold conditions. It's still relatively new technology (on the scale of cars in general), and we need to learn how to handle these different scenarios properly. My grandparents in Northern Minnesota had an engine block heater that they'd leave plugged in anytime their ICE car (decades ago) was home. Why? Because it'd get so cold you couldn't start the car. But this wasn't laughed about on the news because it wasn't new. We as a society had learned how to deal with it and it wasn't a big deal. EV's will get there one day.
It’s a multimillion dollar game of “Where’s Waldo”!
Mostly because that's not how the kernel is designed. While what you're saying is true, it would require a fundamentally different kernel design. The kernel as it is today is designed to work on a variety of devices, not just VMs, so it behaves in a way in which it doesn't have specific knowledge of the device prior to initialization. To do what you're suggesting, the kernel would need to have a special mode where it supports injection of this information from the VM host in advance of initialization, and there's probably a bunch of possible security issues involved as well.
If you ever find an IP attorney who studied engineering as an undergraduate (and was good at it), hang on to them, they are the best. Mine saved me from a single mistake that would've cost more than 100x what I paid him (and several other less-spectacular disasters).
Sure but it sounds to me like it shouldn't be featured in the "Shopping" widget when it has 9 affiliate links?

When I hover over the "i" icon it says:

> Information provided by Looria, Amazon, Reddit and other sources. Shop confidently with Kagi - our results have no affiliate links.

The sites featured in the "Shopping" widget were:

- Reddit

- RTINGS: has 8 affiliate links (just from one article I picked, it was featured several times)

- NYTimes: has 47 affiliate links (just from one article I picked, it was featured several times)

- Techgearlab: has 9 affiliate links

Even if you ignored the widget, the first result was a site with 7 amazon affiliate links.
The bottom half of the battery charges a lot faster than the top half, so that behaviour is rewarded. In the winter, better to put up with longer charging times and never let your battery go below 25-50%. If you get stranded turn off cabin heat and rely on seat heaters -- a full Tesla battery should be able to run just the seat heaters for a month, so by ensuring your battery is above 25% you should have a few days of seat heat.
That's the question that is currently working its way through the courts in many different cases. We don't yet know the answer.
> “I had no idea, a year later, I’d still be searching for full-time employment,” said 32-year-old AJ Edelman, who decided to pursue a Yale M.B.A. to ease his transition from a skeleton-racing career into a management role in technology. Hundreds of applications later, he estimates, he’s still looking.

From skeleton racing to management in technology? Did he really expect the Yale MBA would be enough, combined with "hundreds" of applications - rookie numbers?
but if you call it virtue signaling, you get categorized into the group that uses that loyalty oath most often, instead of the non-group member that is simply frustrated by the accuracy of it occurring
They do, there are resistive elements on older Teslas and heat pumps on newer ones. The trouble is - they require electricity to operate and so they suck the battery dry. In this case it sounds like charging stations also bombed out...
Apple Pay is one of the (few) things where that is not the case. New phone = manually re-adding cards to Apple Pay. Get an Apple Watch? It does not get your Apple Pay info until you manually add them to the watch.
Yes, OP knows that the quote is referring to platforms/media channels like youtube/facebook/google, etc. But it's also referring to profit-making companies on the internet, like OpenAI.
I wasn't saying you can't be mad. I was saying that getting mad at people won't convince them that you have a point.

I've never heard of Briar. But now my only interaction with it is with someone who wants a "digital 9/11" and hopes that a quarter of our digital systems get hacked by an adversarial state. No offense, but I don't want to be part of a communications network with users that advocate extremism and terrorism as a conversion method.

Edit: I just looked into Briar, and it is ironically, only available on certain platforms. If you have an iPhone you cannot use it. How is this any better?
It’s even cheaper if you use a vpn to connect to say, India when you sign up.
I primarily use DuckDuckGo go. I use account containers. I use a VPN.

I’m not letting perfect be the enemy of good.
>The study finds an inverse relationship between a page’s optimization level and its perceived expertise

What if Google flipped its SEO weights from positive to negative?
Can you keep/backup your download around for reuse? It would start clean, but at least you don't download it again.
But it looks like they also give stars to books. If this site was influential, it would probably encounter the same bombing problems as Goodreads. Storygraph doesn't rely on stars but on moods. This may be the better solution.
That’s not a meaningful argument. The world is not very different if there’s a minimum wage “author” in the loop whose job is to add human spice to AI outputs.
Assign a single core to the VM, 8 GB of RAM. Surely you can also bandwidth limit the storage.
Those of you who are desperately trying to soften the blow - "they're talking about facebook, not OpenAI", "it's fair use, the license terms are irrelevant", "nothing has been taken from them" - you need to allow yourself to think the thought that maybe your AI startup's business model is only valuable because of theft. You need to let yourself entertain the idea that maybe you are only getting paid a cushy tech salary because you're aiding and abetting theft. You need to at least try to learn how to draw hands, the hard way, before hopping on Midjourney and saying "art is easy, why do these artists think they deserve to get paid for this?".
The point is that Midjourney itself, the model weights, is possibly a derivative work of all of the works that went into its training. The fact that it can produce almost identical copies of some of them, especially if not carefully prevented from doing so through secondary mechanisms, is obvious proof that it directly encodes copies of some of these works.

That already clearly means that they couldn't publish the model directly even if they wanted to, since they don't have the right to distribute copies of those works, even if they are represented in a weird lossy encoding. Whether it's legal for them to give access to the model through an API that prevents returning copyrighted content is a much more complex legal topic.

No we have the cloud and everyone just uses the web. We don't need speed ;)
Sometimes developers and managers can't fix it.

(second-hand information) Android was at a smoothness disadvantage vs iOS for a long time, because it was never an organization level priority for devices to scroll at >= 60hz without stuttering. Then some executives went "why is scrolling so bad on our phones but not on Apple's?" and suddenly it became a priority.

I remember before the priorities changed, some of their graphics programmers were very frustrated that they didn't have the freedom to invest in fixing it.
It has to be very hard to overcome the bad vibes of being in a situation like this.

The technology seems indecipherable to a non-techie.

The law seems indecipherable to a layman.

The ethics seem indecipherable to everyone.

With so much confusion, to feel that one has been treated justly it might not be enough to participate in a class-action lawsuit resolving what happened. It would help with public trust if there were available for example protocols or sites for connecting people who want to sue companies. - Just something that shows that society does support values of equality and justice.
They've specifically proposed that there be a legal distinction drawn between "done by a human" and "done by an automated process."

Saying "a-HA! But my automated process can produce something that looks much like what your human would!" does not negate that; it merely makes it hard to tell the difference at a glance—which we already know to be the case.
> You'd think there'd be some way to do that for EVs.

You would, and you'd be correct. Many or most EVs do have this.
Can it train on the Wikipedia meta community? Maybe we could get an LLM that talks like "You're wrong, see WP:V, WP:RS, WP:WTF".
There's also this in the Berkeley Hills. Smaller though.

> Optimus doesn’t appear have capabilities beyond anything we could do in 1964

Seems a bit disingenuous. Did the Lincoln robot have the dexterity in its fingers to do fine-motor tasks like folding laundry?

This has the same energy as saying the Falcon 9 isn't a massive innovation because the Saturn V existed in the 60s. Propulsive landing was done back in the 60s by the Apollo LEM, so obviously the propulsively landing re-usable first stage was "already done before".
Then it's no problem right? Or are you just in a minority.
It's a perfect example of the "if you're making a shitload of money, whatever you're doing to make it must be okay" rationalization that pervades SV and America in general.
The law prioritises people who sign up for something they don't want (e.g. as a contractor, but wants to be perm), over people who sign up for something they do want (i.e. as a contractor, who wants to be a contractor).

This happened with Uber in the UK as well[0] - people signed up to be Uber drivers as self-employed people, but then decided they wanted to be employees.

I understand the emotional want to break your agreement if you can get more money, but I don't understand the legal case for wanting a legal designation (self employed) to be so hard to define. How do you know where you stand, as an individual or a business, if this stuff can just be changed?

Depends on what you mean by computer engineering but they should definitely have a good mental model of how computers work. Otherwise your complex applications will have trouble scaling. That can matter less in many cases but early architecture mistakes can easily put you down an evolutionary dead end forcing you to experience exponentially rising maintenance costs to add new features / fix bugs or rewrite the thing by someone who understands computer architecture better (+ take advantage of a better understanding the problem domain)
A complied language can be over 1000 times faster than Python, so maybe the dual core from 10 years ago would have been fine.
McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Dominos apps seem to be the best, everything else ends up in login hell (though I suspect I have two McDonald's and Taco Bell accounts from before they added Apple login).

Some are literally so bad I just won't use them anymore.

All most of these things need is basic authentication, set some long-lived whatever it is based on the Secure Enclave, and if then don't allow seeing the charge method or changing the delivery address without requiring some second factor. You don't need full bank-level security for a burrito (amusingly enough, my bank security is more based on normal things than the burritos are).
Not a dupe.

Your link is people claiming that Youtube was deliberately slowing down the site for people using adblockers. The current article claims that was not the case, and was just a poor adblock implementation.
In both cases, it's the batteries in the cars that died. The ICE engines work just fine once you warm them up and jump them.
My bias: I'm not from the US, and to me, Bloomberg is right-of-center.

I think foxbusiness (like foxSport) is a good source of news. Their main bias are on the angle of attack and choice to tell some stories on somewhat political news, as well as the "business" liberal/center-right bias that is shared by all business media (a social science paper will lean left by nature). It is not Fox News: i would trust their stories (while knowing is probably not the entire truth).

And i think its interesting reading about how the other side see some events. You shouldn't dismiss information solely because of the source.
> There's an ongoing debate over whether or not people skills are undervalued

For the banks and credit unions where customer service is a key advantage, operations people with good people skills are super important. But because of industry culture, these people are pretty much sh1t upon. It shows in their pay, and in the rapidity with which they are laid off.

I bet there's tons of places where this happens.
I wonder what percent of wiki entries are being taken over by AI writing. I feel like I wouldn't know with wiki style language. There was at least a few TV tropes entries that I suspected, only because the humor and observation felt off.
For a more modern and complete approach see https://www.gnu.org/software/mes/manual/mes.html and links therefrom.
This is engineer logic. This kind of thing would never fly in court. If you want an example, go back and look at what happened to Aereo back in 2014. They came up with a clever hack to work around broadcast TV copyright. It went to the U.S. Supreme Court and got shot down.
Illinois area gas stations are also lined with ICE vehicles unable to fill gas because gas pumps are frozen.

I wonder why the Fox Business article does not mention that?
I don't think there was an actual list of artists released, was there?
I just spun up a self hosted instance this past weekend, and while its fairly decent it doesn't seem to hit the mark compared to Notion (which I use at my day job). There's just a bit too much friction in creating pages (you need to click "publish" on every page you create), no /page command to quickly jump into a nested page, and.

I'm more excited by Affine (https://affine.pro/), though their self hosting support seems to be neglected, and it has the same "not actually open source" issue as Outline.
You seem to be missing the point. The artist has already compromised their personal ethics by choosing to post their work to social media. Now, with AI, they don't even have a choice in the matter.
This is the primary reason most of the MBAs I know did it as well. There are very few socially acceptable ways to pivot your career, and an MBA is one of them.

For example I know several people that wanted to pivot into something more software focused. There are boot camps, but they’re looked down on. Most colleges will not allow you to enroll for a bachelor’s in CS if you already have a bachelors in something else (and also is looked down on), and likewise a master’s in CS is very unlikely. So instead they went for an MBA that has a specialization in data analytics, which for many has been a good foot in the door to more tech-focused roles.
For Web apps, I think using lighthouse and the chrome tools to emulate slow devices goes a long way.
That's not what the article says. The article doesn't even state the problem.

The actual problem is that cold batteries have higher resistance, so these cold cars aren't charging. The owners need to run the heaters in their car for 30-45 minutes before they try to charge to be able to effectively charge at all.
Is this really true that software is getting slower? I've been using a budget Windows 10 desktop lately, and I'm shocked by how fast everything is running: ESRI ArcGIS, Firefox, code editors, etc. I remember having a budget desktop PC back in the mid 2000's and it was a significantly worse experience on very basic workflows (Excel, regular web browsing, etc)
Fair use is a defence you can use when you infringe copyright [edit for clarity] or in other words the action you take would otherwise infringe.

It's not fair use because you want it to be, and it's not at all legally clear if this defence is valid in the case of AI training. But it's not clear it isn't, either.

This is basically what all the noise and PR money is about, currently, in hope that shaping the narrative will shape the legal decisions.
For cold climates, ev's have a built block heater, and it takes power.

The problem is refueling, a sitting ev needs to power its own heater running down the battery, and to make it worse, batteries already have lower power in winter.

Thus the cars are all waiting to refuel and ran out of power.

A Hybrid is a better option until refueling EV's are not an issue.
An independent artist who was already struggling now got bamboozled by Midjourney. Instead of listing the Artist somewhere in the midst of a million attributions, every instance Midjourney draws a cartoon in the Artist's style should at least have a (clickable link) attribution to the artist's website.
If they don't link to you, but instead take the content of the link and show it alongside ads, they do owe you money, at least in some jurisdictions.
People who switch careers into tech are really not appreciating how hard it is to break into- most of us in tech already grew up in this, we’ve loved it since day one. If you’re switching just for monetary gain, we can smell it and we don’t appreciate it.
> just because you prefer to find your exceptions at compile time doesn't mean that it's the best way to find them.

It is indeed the best way to find them. At compile time, you get errors for all possible paths a program will take.

For dynamic languages like Ruby you will get an error only if the program takes a path through problematic code and then Ruby will flag the error. This means a runtime error could lie latent in your codebase for many more weeks and months. Only if a rare condition triggers a code path that contains the incompatibility. This is also why refactors in languages like Ruby are more difficult and conservative. As you're never sure you fixed everything.
