I have a GPD Micro PC running Linux that fits in my pocket. It’s been a very useful device, even has a classic serial port which I have used in data center to access a server which had lost all it’s network interfaces, found to be caused by a counterfeit nic card which failed.

I see others claiming GPD has bad build quality. That’s not my experience at all.

I’m currently looking to upgrade to something more powerful I can carry around hopefully just as easy. I’m leaning towards either their GPD Win 4 [0] [1] or the very latest GPD Win Mini.

[1] https://www.gpd.hk/gpdwin4

[2] https://www.gpd.hk/gpdwinminisdfewr

Their occulink port and USB4 is the real deal and allows eGPUs both for gaming and compute.

Though I’m not a gamer I’m currently leaning towards the Win 4 because it has a dock system and an LTE module, which the Win Mini lacks both. However perhaps the Win Mini keyboard and form factor is more conventional.

Thanks for clarifying. Do you believe there is a better than 20% chance that humans will develop AGI in the next 30 years?

> I simply don't see anything right now that convinces me it's just over the next hill.

These are the reasons that I believe we are close to developing an AGI system.

(1) Many smart people are working on capabilities.
(2) Many investment dollars will flow into AI development in the near future.
(3) Many impressive AI systems have recently been developed: Meta's CICERO, OpenAI's GPT4, DeepMind's AlphaGo.
(4) Hardware will continue to improve.
(5) LLM performance significantly improved as data volume and training time increased.
(6) Humans have built other complex artefacts without good theories of the artefact, including: operating systems, airplanes, beer.
Good points, the race does seem closer than I was aware.
Fair use. Licenses like that are enforced under copyright, if the use is not subject to copyright, the license terms are irrelevant.
Compute Module on a platform that recommends active cooling? Excellent. Simply excellent.
Fair use is an argument to explain why you violated the license/copyright. It relies on the fact that you did make a copy without permission.
The argument here seems more mad at the decline of the ability of an individual to promote their work on social media channels (which is indeed a problem that's getting worse for reasons unrelated to generative AI) rather than losing money to people making AI art with Midjourney.
OpenStack's got Magnum for that need.

The framework for deployment has vastly improved.
I think that's worked fine with tobacco. Unlike illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco consumption have been gradually dropping over time(or moved to less harmful methods than smoking).

Heroin already is openly accessible. As much as one can try to argue this is an accessibility issue, it really isn't. Anyone who is motivated to can get their hands on some heroin. The only thing that's made harder to access is high quality heroin. It's only a quality control and outreach(to addicts) issue.

Most people in a well-functioning society wouldn't develop a heroin addiction just like most people don't become alcoholics just because alcohol is easily available.

So yes, I believe heroin should be legal, and available to adults for purchase. And you're gonna have to do better than saying I'm "out of my mind" to convince me otherwise.
I don't recall ever seeing or hearing "compute" used as anything but a verb until several years into the rise of the "cloud".

For showers definitely. But as someone astutely observed, washing machines (clothes and dish variety) pull a bunch of hot water, and then dump it out a half hour later, and then may or may not pull more hot water afterward, but never while they are draining. I guess there's an expensive reservoir for that and that sounds like more water damage waiting to happen.

So the only heat transfer you'd get there would be whatever heat capacity the exchanger has. And since the thermal conductivity is high, all it's probably done is heat up the air inside of your walls a little bit.

The best alternative to me seems like heat pumps, although you might also be able to scavenge heat to feed into your radiant heating system, or the cold air exchange on your furnace. The former seems more likely not to cause problems on hot days.

But dirtier during construction. More difficult to repair most of the time too. Pros and cons. If you keep an EV for a long time, than it is cleaner. But a lot of EVs are thrown out instead of being repaired. The real solution is to share cars and, ride a bicycle, walk or use public transport when possible.

Ask HN: Do People Need Social Media Handles of Companies in One Place
I built an app which houses all Social media handles of all companies around the world. Would such an app be useful to any? Wanted to know if it is worth my time to release it.

For eg. If you search for Nike or nike.com, my app would show their facebook handle, insta, twitter whatever they have.

going to get an MBA without having your job pay for it or any legit plan is itself a red flag to me in terms of the quality of a candidate. Why would you hire somebody who spent 100-200k(and even more money in salary opportunity cost) for a credential?
A key finding from the "Results" section follows: "Out of 27,271 Jupyter notebooks from 2,660 GitHub repositories [...], 22,578 notebooks were written in Python, including 15,817 that [we could attempt to] rerun automatically.

"For 10,388 of these, all declared dependencies could be installed successfully, and we reran them to assess reproducibility.

"Of these, 1,203 notebooks ran through without any errors, including 879 that produced results identical to those reported in the original notebook and 324 for which our results differed from the originally reported ones. Running the other notebooks resulted in exceptions."
I'm not thinking of commercial anything - just changes financed by companies that want them.

Example: PyPy getting almost no funding but Microsoft getting it's JIT into cpython.

Big money will be deciding what happens. We're already all dependent on Github - and they've managed to use our code to train their AI. Like a vampire offering poor travellers a bed in it's castle and then sucking their blood :-D
Not exactly surprising. Large companies have been slowing down or freezing hiring and laying people off for over a year now. Did anyone think MBAs would be immune?
This paper does not make sense to me. They used Startpage (https://www.startpage.com) as a proxy for Google results ("result pages of Google (by proxy of Startpage)" in a discussion of Google results?

Except, if you put the same search in Startpage and Google, you get different results. Image results especially are quite different. Text results were mostly just a reorganization on my quick tests. (Tried the title of the paper as its own search "Is Google Getting Worse? A Longitudinal Investigation of SEO Spam in Search")

Edit: One other notable result is from Figure 3, that a huge percentage of the results now are Amazon and Youtube. Many orders of magnitude in most cases. Amazon (3000-4000), NYTimes (1000), Walmart (~500?), Insider/PCMag/Tomsguide (~50?)
Billion-dollar businesses can pay full-time professionals for support. They can hire staff or contract with a vendor. They can audit the free software they use or, like the good old days, pay for software whose vendors maintain it.

Or they can use hobbyist-written software for free, which is just fine, but don’t expect the hobbyist to support it for free.
This is all very cool but also seems involved. Your value proposition is enough that we may be willing to do some work to set it up. However, the question I have is how much and is that enough to sustain your operations? Your solution looks very interesting but we wouldn't want to do all that work only for your company to disappear or get acquired because of cash flow problems.
And if so, should that non-commercial-use qualifier extend to works co/created with that AI?

This would explain why I find midjourney art so hideous.
It seems that the answer from their study is mostly no (reading the conclusion), but they seem reluctant to admit it, so they focus mostly on results being mediocre and spammy.
Not really:

> Every time someone downloads a book from a shadow library like Library Genesis, it's through IPFS most of the time

I would like to see evidence this is actually true. My theory is that IPFS's "success" in hosting Libgen is roughly turning ICO proceeds into free hosting. Paying for dedicated servers might have been more cost efficient and, given the performance issues, more robust!

They owned PayPal for a while, so it was heavily promoted. It's still their first choice AFAICT.

They're persuasive, which is probably the most important social skill. Having a beer may be a means to that end, but it usually isn't.

Politics, law, finance, the arts, advertising, religion, and the media all rely on persuasion. And because narcissists and sociopaths are so much more credible and charming than introverts and tech nerds, these professions are full of people who make a living selling stories - about themselves, others, and related brands and products.

This is why we have such problems with the constraints of physical or social reality. These people believe their stories. They experience any suggestion they're objectively wrong as an unreasonable threat to their status and self-image.

They feel the same way about any suggestion that other people's stories matter. To them, they don't. If they did matter they'd show some hesitation and nuance, and the persuasion magic would evaporate.
If it was highly standardized, was it really based on intuition as suggested by OP?
It’s a terrible argument and a terrible loop hole. It’s perfectly legal to hire someone to write in the copied style of Terry.

So even if your desired system were implemented to a T, you could hire someone to write a dozen or so examples of Terry writing. Probably just 30 or so pages of highly styled copied text, and then train your bot on this corpus to make “Not Terry” content. Boom. $100 on gig author and then for all practical purposes the Terry style is legally open source. Terry doesn’t even get the $100!

It might be helpful if you explain why you think it's stupid instead of writing a one sentence dismissal. Otherwise why make a comment?
We should note that whether AI training is actually fair use has yet to be tested in court. In particular, there's some wording in fair use about the effect on the market for the original and whether the derivative work can substitute for the original that I think a lot of programmers who blindly say this is fair use ignore. I am not a lawyer though.
In theory this is a funny idea but I think it would be a huge waste of time. Ruby syntax has changed and added so much since since 1.8 that you'd be stuck fixing thousands of syntax errors.

Unfortunately, it's not easy to make this legal argument given how copyright law only protects fixed, tangible expressions, not ideas, concepts, principles, etc. and has a gaping hole called 'fair use.'
Making money from the trained model isn't fair use anymore.
Show HN: Running Shoe Price Comparison and Alerts
Hey HN, I’m a guy who runs a lot and is prone to spending too much money on running shoes - so I made a site to find deals and alert me when shoes on my rotation are on sale.

I built the site with Elixir & Phoenix with LiveView and couldn’t be happier with the tech stack. A really nice feature of using this setup is that everything runs in a single logical app with no other languages or infrastructure: background & scheduled jobs, long running web scraping and ETL tasks, backend APIs, and even the frontend.

I’d love to get feedback from others who love running and/or getting a good deal. Thanks!

It's called paying copyright owners -- artists. The economic model can be worked out, but it's not the status quo, where software companies take all the profit and artists are left with nothing.
Sort of? I don't think everything always shows up on https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/

I think it maybe only shows companies you had recent transactions with.

In 2023, I had a fraudulent $0.99 Paypal Automatic Payment for "Domain Name Forwarding - Renewal" from a company (DomainsPricedRight/OwnMyDomain aka GoDaddy) that I last did business with in 2005. Yes, 18 years prior.

I was able to 'deactivate' the 'subscription' on the Paypal site after I noticed the charge but I don't think automatic payments existed on Paypal in 2005 and I'd certainly never signed up for it.

The original 2005 business I did was a one time domain purchase that was transferred to another registrar within a year.

It was real fun to also see on Paypal that I could have been fraudulently charged up to $10,000.

It's kind of scary to think that any company I've done a Paypal transaction with could maybe do the same thing (or any of the companies that eventually acquire their merchant accounts...)
"Pay me for providing value to you or I won't provide that value to you"
Same boat. Wonder if we can reclassify in any more beneficial way. Perhaps they should create something.
Probably because DDG is shit compared to google. It consistently misinterprets context, it’s shy about domain-specific searches, especially involving pornography, and struggles to ‘correct’ poorly-written search strings.

It doesn’t come with the baggage that google does, ovviously, but let’s not pretend it’s any kind of real competition in terms of functionality.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that business is the most popular major in the country. A glut of middle managers is maybe not something the economy wants, especially when in most companies you can just work your way up to be one without an MBA.

Really the only value for the degree I see is if you already have a business. And some value if you want to start one (on top of the 200k debt you just took for the MBA).
Why would you value it as a car company when it does other things, even without him?
The article mentions MBAs graduating from top schools not being able to find a job in a tough job market, but obviously this problem is as old as time for MBA graduating any given year. One of the issues is that the MBA is a money maker for these universities, so why not graduate as many people as possible.

The other issue is what people expect from these MBA programs. They see it as a way to get career flexibility, but in reality an MBA really opens up two spaces: Consulting, and becoming an executive in the field you're already poised to become an executive in.
To add to this, the people writing these articles are not stupid and know there is more than one understanding for the words they're using. They choose not to clarify on purpose, or they're incompetent and I don't want to believe that's the case.

"AI safety" imo should be the blanket term for "any harm done to society by the technology", and it's the responsibility of anyone using the term to clarify the usage.

If someone is trying to tell you to support/decry something because of "AI safety" they're tying to use the vagueness to take advantage of you.

If someone is trying to tell you that "ai safety people are dumb", they're trying to use the most extreme examples to change your opinion on the moderate cases, and are trying to take advantage of you.

“rewrite the key insights of this article but with different layout and pacing”. Your move?
No, fair use does not preclude making money.
It applies - but how it applies is simply not settled. Clearly, there is no statistical model that can launder IP. If someone uses Midjourney to produce someone else's IP, that user (not Midjourney) would be in violation of copyright if they use it in a way that does not conform to the license, such as by creating their own website of cat and girl comics and running Adsense on it.

However, if other artists are inspired by this style of comic, and it influences their work - that is simply fair use. If that artist is some rando using a tool like Midjourney - that is inspired by the art but doesn't reproduce it - it is not at all clear to me that this is not also fair use.

The TL;DR = Not really, according to our methods & analysis. But maybe.
The point is that they no longer have a choice not to enrich profit-seeking companies with their unpaid labor, because by posting to those sites, you're generating the content they place their ads beside. And then pointing out that at least with social media, they had a choice in the matter, while AI scrapers just take it, wherever they might have posted it.
I doubt it's still fair use if you become one of most valuable companies, hence the word "fair" in fair use.

i can't go up to just any computer and log into my bank with my face

you would have to possess my phone and then deepfake me

i am comfortable with this security posture because the convenience of face id allows me to use long random passwords with frequent rollover which I never have to type

if i lose my phone I can remotely disable it

this is all much less of a crime to me than any service that allows password reset over SMS which is a much more well trodden vulnerability.
I'm not sure if it applies here. Midjourney's use intends to substitute the artists' work, and is commercial.
This little tool is showing its age: https://gfblip.appspot.com/ but as you walk around you'll probably notice that you aren't getting any packets through to the Internet at all. That's why your video drops out, you aren't connected to the Internet anymore.

What Zoom does is notice this and play the video frames in its buffer back more slowly in an attempt to smooth over the "no data coming from the Internet" period. I don't find this that helpful because if you comment on something someone just said, they've moved on to a new topic by the time Zoom unbuffers and displays all the frames. Clever hack, I prefer the complete dropout.

I wonder what effects AI ripping off today's artists will have on the next generation. They will grow up with AI "art" generators. Will they be concerned enough about AI-ripping them off that the don't put out novel, "human-made" works of art? Will they put down the AI tools long enough to learn "manual" forms of art?
You're not wrong, but will people be able to pay for it?
That's how the whole system is setup. The information you get across schools is practically the same (the all operate within the same laws, business practises etc) but the difference is that those more expensive schools are 'filters' for HR departments. So if you intern/network with companies you want to work at while you're working on your credential, you essentially are doing a multi-year application process.

If all that mattered is that you know how to do 'stuff', then paying for a brand-name school wouldn't matter, because the 'stuff' is the same. (except for non-accredited schools I suppose)
What’s hacky about it?
They’re using the discord chat bot interaction tools to make interactions for their chat bot.

Not being able to run a 15 year old codebase on a < 1 month old runtime without making some modifications has nothing to do with static or dynamically typed languages.

But first - why don't we point out that the bulk of the issues the author faced had nothing at all to do with types? The issues were primarily with syntax changes.

Regardless - with a statically typed, compiled language, you find these issues at compile time. With any other language you find them at runtime. Either way, you'd have to fix a whole lot before you deploy the code, and just because you prefer to find your exceptions at compile time doesn't mean that it's the best way to find them.
