> Often this comes down to acceptable implementation defined behavior,

I believe this is "always" rather than often when it comes to the actual operations defined by the FP standard. gcc does play it fast and loose (as -ffast-math is not yet enabled by default, and FMA on the other hand is), but this is technically illegal and at least can be easily configured to be in standards-compliant mode.

I think the bigger problem comes from what is _not_ documented by the standard. E.g. transcendental functions. A program calling plain old sqrt(x) can find itself behaving differently _even between different stepping of the same core_, not to mention that there are well-known differences between AMD vs Intel. This is all using the same binary.

People and them are quite varied though.

One one hand I want better AI that can generate whatever image that comes to my mind.

On the other hand I don’t want it to blatantly copy someone else’s style that they spent years making.

US is pretty fucked since it has very little safety net compared to other modern countries if AI really started replacing humans.

This is people’s livelihoods we are talking about.

Will AI cause people to commit suicide? Yeah if it starts replacing them and they lose meaning in life.
That would be quite sad.

If we let a person amass a trillion dollars, we should honestly have a hard conversation about wealth redistribution.

There's quite a lot of people on this board who would probably quit their jobs and live a life of charity and spending time with their loved ones if they received a windfall of 100 million dollars. A billion dollars is insane to me. I'd absolutely call it a day and use that money to benefit humanity. Imagine having 1000x that.

Someone who has a trillion dollars is probably quite sick in the head, and is not something we as a society should strive to let someone become.
We're veering towards a debate about competing values, and I'm deeply skeptical of the value of those kinds of conversations on HN, given how polarizing this topic is and how conditioned we are to pattern match to the worst possible interpretations of competing arguments. I'm doing my best to stay dry and neutral about the overall conflict, and to rebut only claims that are in the ballpark of factual.

Regarding the "governing" status of Hamas, I would observe that the overwhelming majority of Gazans are too young to have ever voted, and that Hamas seized and maintains power coercively, so we should be careful attributing ideas like rightful governing status to Hamas. Among the organizations that care less about the lives of Palestinians than Israel, one must clearly number Hamas.
Price and volume mean it still has impact. We’re already seeing that with online marketplaces and forums filling up with high-volume AI excreta, and a lot of businesses love replacing positions with software so regardless of the relative merits of the output anyone who lives in a society should be thinking about what it’ll look like as millions of jobs disappear.

In my experience, small businesses often charge more than larger businesses, perhaps because they don't benefit from an economy of scale or increased negotiating leverage with suppliers. For example, compare Wal-Mart to a small general store or Home Depot to a small hardware store. It's much more common that the big box stores charge less for the same products.

Also, from what I remember of microeconomics, the free market model assumes a number of things that are not always true in reality, at least not all at the same time: robust competition among suppliers, perfect knowledge among consumers, rational decision-making behavior. Like any model, the more reality differs from the assumptions, the worse the model is at prediction, but the basic laws of supply and demand, where the price of a good is where the supply and demand curves meet, still hold.

This is 100% true. The documentation isn't great. The code itself isn't great, either and it's the only thing you can go off of.

One thing Lilygo really should do is start merging pull requests. Many of them are fixing the documentation because we love tinkering with their devices and want to pave the way for others.

There are lots of things that the government will do when individual market participants don't have market incentives. In the US, the Interstate Highway System and rural electrification are two examples. Even the Transcontinental Railroad required the government to incentivize its development through land grants and so on. Governments and markets operate by different mechanisms.

That's a cop-out.

Let me put another way: what odds do you give for them closing down YouTube for non-paying customers in the next 3 years? If we make a bet where I pay $10.000 that they will not close, and you have to pay $1.000, do you take it?
I hate it so much. So arbitrary and capricious. I would say this is currently the number one blocker for the web as a serious platform. And they're doing it on purpose.
In Japan we have an alcohol delivery service Kakuyasu which is known for their pink mini-trucks cruising around Tokyo. Think it was founded in the 80’s. I see them listed on UberEats and Wolt here.
Shutting down Drizly means shutting down it as an independent app - the same merchants are available on Uber Eats for the most part so you should be able to get alcohol delivered via the normal app.
Poor visibility though.

Can you explain this? DNS resolves to an IP address, then that is scanned. What am I missing?
I don't think so. I think it will be more like a flare that burns out.

The reason being that the source of material for GPT-4 is rotting underneath. As the internet gets ruined by AI garbage, the quality of output of AI will get worse, not better.

edit: This is a modern day tower of Babel event. We had a magnificent resource and then polluted it with garbage and now it's quickly becoming useless.
For very short sessions that is likely true. But I think there is a middle ground where devices are lost or stolen, or data is accidentally leaked. If it is a sophisticated targeted attack you have already lost. But maybe someone just threw out an old PC that they haven't used in years and the disk isn't encrypted.

For my service I ended up doing something in between. Sessions last for 14 days, but they are automatically renewed indefinitely. So as long as you access the service every 14 days your session will never expire. This way lost or leaked credentials aren't a risk forever. But in most cases users rarely if ever need to log in again. I may play with the exact timeframes, or maybe significantly extend the validity if the user is logged in via the same IP or similar heuristics. But I like that after some definite period old creds are no longer live.
There is a polyfill gem that allows older Ruby versions access the newer stuff, wouldn’t that help?
Do you really think the government should regulate use of the word "medicine"? Ditto for claims like "works naturally". I think it's pretty clear that this stuff is alternative medicine.

Your suggestion would be like forcing astrology books to include warnings. I think you have to treat people like adults here, which includes realizing that they are going to do/buy dumb things. Only when those things come at a significant risk is it worth interfering.
The US is literally the reason why many countries haven't fallen into disrepair (Israel, the UAE, Saudi, Ukraine, etc.). It's the reason why global trade flourishes in the Western world but, sure, because they've done bad things in the past, some people can't just help but say they're the worst, and it's oddly always self-loathing Americans..
You could certainly argue that we do not. Perceptions are not instantaneous, and if they can be said to "take time" then they cannot have time as their object of perception directly. And even if they "take time", perceptions are ending simultaneously as they are beginning. Being aware of the passage of time does not require perception, as anyone can report when they have an understanding of how long they slept as soon as they wake. Not sure how all that relates to bees, though.

Anyway, no abstract musing about time is complete without a word from Dōgen: "You may suppose that time is only passing away, and not understand that time never arrives."
If you have a large enough on-prem infrastructure where you are using automation and not manually configuring everything, the skillsets will have a lot of overlap.

Wow! Where's that legal? It wouldn't be in my jurisdiction.
"int" is not boxed but "Integer" is. You can't use primitive types like "int" inside generic type arguments so in that case you're forced into using the boxed integer type.
The unfortunate reality of the breakdown in trust is because the institutions are behaving in a way that would reinforce this. It is easy to look at the extremes like Qanon, but even if you look beyond the surface on any institution in this country, it is really hard to be positive or hopeful about anything. For example it is hard to trust in the Supreme Court once you notice that judges (on both side of the political spectrum) have been accepting favors from Billionaires, legally, but unethically. Could you realistically think these judges could rule fairly in cases that involve their benefactors? This was once the highest trusted institution in the country, now think about the ones that weren't that trusted to begin with.

This a nice, tight statement of the big picture.

This isn't new, like since LLMs were born, either. In the aviation community, and probably many other domains, there has been a running debate for decades about the pros and cons of introducing more automation into the cockpit and what still should or shouldn't be taught and practiced in training (to be able to effectively recognize and handle the edge cases where things fail).

And in military aviation, this isn't just a question of safety; it's about productivity just like it is for knowledge workers. If an aircraft can fly itself most of the time, the crew can do more tactical decision-making and use more sensors and weapons. Instead of just flying their own aircraft, the crew can also control a number of unmanned aircraft with which they're teamed up.

Yeah the market for Android phones seems to have devolved into nothing but cheap iPhone copies these days, with little if any, actual innovation in years (with maybe a few exceptions from Samsung). Pretty much the only specs they even try to compete on is camera quality.

I still stick with Pixel/Android since I prefer to have full ownership of my device from a development/hacker standpoint, but even that quality has been diminishing with each new version of Android. It's like every new release just makes the OS worse instead of better, so it's not something I look forward too anymore.

It really raises the question why am I even buying Android stuff in the first place? From a consumer perspective they are basically just inferior iPhones at this point and while I can technically do some advanced stuff with android, most of these abilities are locked behind adb now or simply outright disabled. I can't even freely change ROMs now since I'd lose the ability to remotely deposit checks.

From my perspective, it seems Android has nothing but a dark future ahead of it.
This is true in the US in regulated industries as well
1.1 billion seems like an absurd amount of money.
Pretty sure wrong. Apple cannot tax you for buying things on the game’s website. It’s just in app purchases that they have a monopoly on. So it’s annoying but it is possible. Hopefully developers make use of this and other regulation finishes the job

Anybody know if it's possible to build a bash without unicode/locale support? The majority of the difference in bash/dash speed is erased by setting LC_ALL=C, but that, of course, will affect other programs as well.

I tried with --disable-translatable-strings and got a modest speedup; --disable-multibyte failed to compile, and I didn't see any other obvious options to try.

Warning: The first benchmarking run for this command was significantly slower than the rest (1.0 ms). This could be caused by (filesystem) caches that were not filled until after the first run. You should consider using the '--warmup' option to fill those caches before the actual benchmark. Alternatively, use the '--prepare' option to clear the caches before each timing run.

> a concept that assumes that demand follows supply

This is wayyyy too black and white. What is cheap and available is what becomes people's diets and historically folks are extremely creative with the stuff that's around. This is pretty much the entire story of culinary history and likely where all your favorite dishes originated. One of the reasons tea was so unbelievably popular in western Europe was because the staple diets of most folks was stale bread and people needed something to wash it down that didn't taste awful. Cheese follows a supply of milk and a demand to not have it spoil.

So you're right that just having the supply there doesn't work because there's no pressure to actually use any of it. The most economical foods by a wide margin non-perishables. When you get your CSA box you've already paid for the veggies so you're motivated to use them up before they turn but at the grocery store why would you even bother when you have anything else more important to do? If you were just handed a sack of apples you might find a way to use them all but "paying money to do more work" in an environment where every adult in the household works a full-time job, plus having kids or social obligations is quite the ask. Buying those apple bars is a much easier buy than fresh apples because they don't have an timer attached to them, you're guaranteed to extract all the value even when you're busy and not home for a few days.

And this isn't some new phenomenon, "cutting out work for wives and mothers trying to put food on the table every night" is an entire industry. Go look at any food ads from the 20th century.

The question is "is it a derivative work of the original?" - not if it is a generative work.

If that was the distinction to be made, using ChatGPT as a classifier would be acceptable while using it to write new spam (see the "I am sorry" amazon listings of the other day) would be unacceptable.

If two different uses of a tool allow for both infringing and non-infringing uses (are photocopiers allowed to make copies(!) of copyrighted works?) it has generally been the case that the tool is allowed and the person with agency to either use the copyrighted work in an infringing or a non-infringing way is the one to come under scrutiny.

I believe that if it is found that OpenAI is found to have committed copyright infringement in training the model, then an argument that training a model on spam be considered to be copyright infringement could be reasonably constructed.

If, on the other hand, OpenAI is found to have sufficiently transformative in its creation of the model and some uses are infringing, then it is the person who did the infringing (as with a photocopier or a printer printing off a copy of a comic from the web) that should be have legal consequences.
Bill Gates' grandpa was a national bank president, and his father was a wealthy lawyer, president of the state bar association. As a child Gates was deliberately trained by his parents to make everything into a contest. He went to the best private prep school in Washington State, and among high school students worldwide, he ended up with something like top 0.01% access to computers at the time. There's nothing "pretty average" about his story; he was part of the top <1% by wealth, prestige, and support right from the get-go. [Which is not to say that Gates didn't work like hell, including making heaps of unethical choices, to end up as a billionaire.]

> Look at the top 5% and you find some very rich people [...]

The top 5% does not predominately consist of "very rich people". The 95th percentile is "upper middle class", people like relatively ordinary white-collar professionals and successful small-business owners including tradespeople who run their own shops, etc. We're talking about "own a nice house, take vacations, and can afford to retire comfortably" money, not "fleet of servants" money.
