It always seemed like they were buying them for their existing vendor contracts and already done legal legwork to operate a business that was actually illegally operating in MA (where it was founded) for years while they did all the lobbying to make it less illegal.

Ask HN: How's the growth in your SaaS lately?
Hey folks! It's been about two months since I've noticed a decrease in signups for my SaaS, despite traffic remaining more or less the same.

December was a particularly slow month, but I chalked it up to the holidays; now, I'm not so sure.

Have you noticed the same thing lately?
>I have some, but diminishing sympathy for artists screaming about how AI generates images too similar to their work. Yes, the output does look very similar to your work. But if I take your work and compare it to the millions of other people's work, I'd bet I can find some preexisting human-made art that also looks similar to your stuff too.

Just like the rest of AI, if your argument is "humans can already do this by hand, why is it a problem to let machines do it?", its because you are incorrectly valuing the labor that goes into doing it by hand. If doing X that has potentially negative side effect Y, then the human labor to accomplish X is the principle barrier to Y, which can be mitigated via existing structures. Remove the labor barrier, and the existing mitigation structures cease to be effective. The fact that we never deliberately established those barriers is irrelevant to the fact that our society expects them to be there.

I spent a little time trying to decide whether GitHub's 2fa was genuinely an extra factor whose compromise (with an uncompromised password) wouldn't weaken security vs a situation where it hadn't been set up at all.

In that case, presumably I could embed the totp key in a bookmarklet in the conveniently-sized 'public bio' field on my profile so I can complete it on whatever device I happen to be using, and effectively opt out?

But I'm really not convinced they aren't fuckwits and wouldn't treat the 'second factor' as an authoritative single factor in some circumstances (e.g. password reset) which wouldn't be unauthenticated if 2fa wasn't set up.

I'm also not convinced one can even contact anyone at GitHub clueful enough to answer that question authoritatively nowadays rather than reading off a script.
Of course it was wrong. Abolish all copyright.
Highly doubtful.

Yes, I know Adobe said so. No, I don't trust them.

Facts:

1. Adobe Firefly is trained with Adobe Stock assets. [1]

2. Anyone can submit to Adobe Stock.

3. Adobe Stock already has AI-generated assets that are not correctly tagged so. [2]

4. It's hard to remove an image from a trained model.

Unless Adobe carefully scrutinize every image in the training set, the logical conclusion is Adobe Firefly already contains at least second-handed unauthorized images (e.g. those generated by Stable Diffusion). It's just "not Adobe's fault".

[1] https://www.adobe.com/products/firefly.html : "The current Firefly generative AI model is trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired."

I graduated with a BS in computer science in 2003. It took me a few months to find a job: I was a very attractive candidate. I don't have a lot of sympathy when it takes specialized candidates a few months to find work.

I took the attitude that I would be working for my entire career, and that it didn't matter if I took some time to enjoy myself. I don't regret it.

More importantly: A degree isn't a guarantee of work. We often forget that there is some risk in getting a fancy degree in a particular field.
This phone loves to hallucinate its input, its not the issue of productivity. KaiOs is a bad example of bloatware because this is an OS for low-end hardware.
In some of the Holochain prototypes I've built, certain state changes are more critical than others.

For some, you might allow "what you know" security (ie. the agent knows your private key).

For other, you might demand "what you know + what you have" security (ie. the agent knows your private key and has provable access to your device). I used various proof of knowledge constructs, such as the ability to read "Private" Holochain entry data (that only exist on-device, and not in the DHT), and demonstrate this by providing the hash or PKI signature of the private data (which is published to the DHT, in an entry provably before the private data being proven was written). There are other ways.

For yet others, you might want that, plus "who you know" security, in which case we do all of the above, and ask some previously defined Agents to also sign the transaction before it is allowed to be written to the Agent's source-chain.

So, the requirement for logical, physical or relational levels of security are available to Holochain / Holo hApps. This is higher security than is available for physical devices like cars, and is even better than provided by devices like Apple iPhone and Watch -- because you retain control over releasing the lock (if you forget your password and lose access to your email address, your Apple device is locked, forever).

> It's actually not even all math library functions, just those that are like sin, pow, exp, etc., but specifically excluding things like sqrt. I'm still trying to come up with a good term to encompass these.

Transcendental functions. They're called that because computing an exactly rounded result might be unfeasible for some inputs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table-maker%27s_dilemma So standards for numerical compute punt on the issue and allow for some error in the last digit.
That's exactly the line that stood out to me as well. I haven't seen the same doctor (or NP) at the same office in my memory; they don't remember my name and I don't remember theirs.

They want me to talk as little as possible, and I want them to fix whatever problem I have (or look for problems I can't detect, like high cholesterol, etc). It's utterly transactional and would be greatly improved by an AI that I can work with on my own time to build a real medical history, not a 1-page sheet that I need to fill out four times a year.

I assume the major challenges that will be difficult to solve will be similar to what they're already facing, namely dealing with patients who can't communicate their issues clearly (or correctly) or who are being deliberately misleading e.g. with drug-seeking behaviors.
Because it either would have been wildly popular, and there would be a lot of others, or it would have been easier for Drizzly to to discover from a popular startup blog than from a not so popular stock artwork. Perhaps they could have carried out a search found the stock source as justification for copying it, but that wouldn't have the same story of independent discovery.

Also if you take asmartbear at his word, that sort of implies he at least somewhat believes his designer :) If he didn't think his designer had any scruples about saying that they made that, I don't think he'd have said it so plainly, as "was made by a freelance designer"

If you believe that privately consuming drugs doesn't reflect negatively on someone, you can hire them. If you don't hire them and nobody else hires them either, the drug use is keeping them from being hired.

> Currently allocating more than ~300MB of memory is not reliable on Chrome on Android without resorting to Chrome-specific workarounds, nor in Safari on iOS.

That's about allocating CPU memory but the GPU memory situation is similar. The specs don't want to reveal information about how much memory you're allowed to use because it could be used for fingerprinting, but that means that it's practically impossible to build reliable applications which use (or can optionally use) a lot of memory. Every allocation you make past a few hundred MB risks blowing up the app immediately, or putting it into the danger zone where it's the first in line to get killed when running in the background, either way without any warning or last-chance opportunity to release memory to avert getting killed.
Thanks I guffawed.
Interesting distinction.

If you can do the correction when reading, it seems reasonable to assume the reader in the opposite direction has the same correction capability.

I would expect the chance of confusion to be identical. The only difference is a matter of perspective, where in one case you are the reader and in one case you are the author.

Wouldn't that depend on the use case? If you just had the model regenerate articles that roughly approximate its source material that is much a more clear cut violation of a paywall. But if you use that data as general background knowledge to synthesize aggregative works such a history of the vietnam war, or trends in musical theatre in the 1980s relative the 1970s, or shifts in the language usage of formal honorifics, then that seems to me to be clearly fair-use categories. There are gray areas, such as aggregating the opinions of a certain op-ed writer over a short timeframe that while it might produce a novel work, is basically is mixmash of recent articles. But would that be unfair, especially if not done in the original authors style?

These technical distinctions like these probably will matter in whatever form regulation eventually ends up becoming.
Scheveningen - huh?

I recently read Robert Harris's book V2 based on this town. Good book.

Also, there is a chess opening variation named after this place. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Defence,_Scheveningen... )

And it has held great chess tournaments in the past.

Plus the Scheveningen system is a method of organizing a chess match between two teams.

For a fairly obscure location, it certainly got on the map, so to speak.

By "go out of the way," I just mean make some sort of sacrifice when it comes to getting fresh produce (e.g. gardening or paying more for vegetables).

I can't recommend GPD products - they're just not made to last, and rely on hacked-up Windows installations to drive them. Components will start failing 1-2 years on, without generally-available replacement parts, and GPD will have already moved on to their new shiny by that point, if you can even get them to respond. These devices are made to look good on YouTube unboxing videos and tick off checklists of hot features, and hold together just long enough to reel in the next batch of buyers.

Which is a shame, because the Win 2's form-factor and cursor control scheme are basically perfect for what I want out of a handheld PC, and also seemingly unique.

If I put my binaries in a place other than the "immutable" one, what's the point in having the immutable place if I don't use it?

If I put my binaries in the "immutable" place, it's no longer immutable.

I mean, if, say, I don't build my shell myself -- I'm also not going to modify it anyways. So, expending extra efforts on ensuring immutability is just making my system more complex for no reason. But, if I do build my shell myself, then immutability only gets in the way. There isn't a situation where I gain something tangible from immutability (again, as an individual user).

It also is helpful to search for videos and click on those. If I search for long form podcasts or interviews, I will get more of those kinds of videos recommended to me.

I expected to somewhat lightly/jokingly make fun of this, but after looking at the README the reasoning makes complete sense to me and it seems like just a straightforwardly good project. This is not about saying what Vim "should" be, the author is setting up a quick hack to make a ubiquitous piece of software usable for them. Totally reasonable and it's great that Vim is flexible enough to make this work.

It's not about building an ideal piece of software, Vim's model of syntax highlighting is probably not the ideal model for a piece of software, ideally you'd use per-language highlighters that are hosted separately. But those highlighters aren't installed by default, and Vim is. So yeah, use the tool that exists and make it usable. Yes, you could install a Vim alternative, but this is not about making an editor to live in or building a perfect system.

So I think this is great, I don't think it defeats the purpose of Vim at all. I say this as someone who set up Emacs to use Vim keybindings and who thinks the modal editing and composition combined with macros within Vim is basically the biggest selling point of the editor. It doesn't matter what Vim "should" be, this is an easy way to get a ubiquitous text editor to be more usable. Not perfect but a one line installation on almost any Linux box with Internet access, so it solves a real problem with relatively little downside in a quick and easy way -- real hacking at its finest.

It might be useful to compare and contrast this to Vim's easy mode (vim -y), but this project is also 2 years old and I don't know what the state of easy mode was back then, and that kind of comparison might be overkill anyway. I like modal editing, so I'm not as familiar with easy mode so I'm not sure what the comparison would be. I know at some point it started defaulting to a graphical session because quitting out of easy mode in the terminal was giving people trouble. But possibly something to look into, maybe, depending on the system you're using if you need to use Vim but can't customize it.
