I'm a Brit. You're talking to me like I'm an American.

I understand your sentiment, but I disagree, "you get on with changing the world", which should include preserving that which already exists.

People forget about the concurrent attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. If all that can happen in the space of less than an hour, that was not a threat to be ignored, and more would have followed had something not been done.

You're also conflating improving national security with boots-on-the-ground searching for supposed WMDs in another country. The two things are not the same in any way. Your argument is total "whataboutery".

If you have holes in national security that allowed something like 9/11 to happen, including the attack on the Pentagon on that same morning, you do something to prevent the likes of it, or worse, from happening again. You can't even argue against that.
Time for more stories then.

I have a family friend who’s old enough to have served in the Soviet military. The guy is a sharp dude who had really good grades in math. So when he was drafted he was directly enlisted into the ‘rocket force’ as a guy who does the trajectory calculations. He served in Kaliningrad.

He tells that they’d get drills where they are woken up at night, and then need to calculate trajectories for hitting Oslo, Paris, London, etc.
Most of the kids in my 12 year old’s class have their own phone. For now, we have one “kids phone” that we let them pass around in case one is getting dropped off at sports, or a friend’s house or something.
I know this is an unpopular thing to say these days, but I still think the internet is amazing.

I have more access to information now than the most powerful people in the world did 40 years ago. I can learn about quantum field theory, about which pop star is allegedly fucking which other pop star, etc.

If I don't care about the law I can read any of 25 million books or 100 million scientific papers all available on Anna's Archive for free in seconds.
I am aware of that part, yeah. It's a shitty change, one hundred percent, and I'm glad to see folks like Wyden trying to unwind it. At the same time, I've owned small software businesses before, and I've started/not started new ones based on whether I thought it would work out. Where I am unclear is what sorts of business plans, on day zero, would be suddenly nonviable when it was viable before, so suddenly overwhelmingly difficult, as to cause such discouragement.

Is there a good chance of recategorization pushing a very marginal business off the cliff? Sure--that Twitter thread, where there are enough details to read in, has a lot of examples of marginal businesses having trouble (mostly because of not being able to plan in the change, which really sucks). But you don't have that on day zero, and going in with the aim to be that very marginal business is probably not the best of ideas. It's not a day-zero problem, and I am struggling to see where a small business with a business plan that was previously worth executing on is now not worth it because of this change.
Though it does seem like robots are reaching this baseline level soon.
All spending creates new money and all taxation destroys it (at the federal level). Where else does money come from if not the government?
Some of them have something weird on them, most of them are a normal barrel jack. I can't speak to the weird one, I don't have one of those.
Of those 47% independent, what fraction consistently vote for a particular party?
Kind of sucks for the first person that tries to process a really big file with it.

Programmer never free’d, and only ran it on files that were like some hundred megabytes big.

Some poor schmuck tries to process a 15 GB file on his 8 GB RAM machine, and after running for hours it crashes because of the lack of free :(
Yeah. In the rush to board a train to my mother after hours of delays just before Christmas, I tripped and bashed my leg pretty hard against the step of the train, a woman asked if I was OK and I reflexively answered "I'm fine".

Once seated I thought I ought to see exactly how "fine" I really was, rolled up the leg of my heavy black jeans and discovered I was now bleeding significantly. I thought about it, decided if I tell the train operator they're going to insist I go to hospital to have somebody check it, at hospital triage will (like me) conclude that I'm not in real danger and put me at the back of the queue and I won't get seen for hours, so likely I don't get a train until tomorrow, meanwhile I'm in the wrong city. So, no, I'm going to stick a Kleenex over this wound to keep it clean(ish) and stay on the train.

It wasn't mortal, but it was a sizeable hole, a day later it was still bleeding so my mother drove me to an Urgent Care and a nurse practitioner glued it shut. Kind of wasting their skills, but it feels better to have someone overqualified do it than guess I can just use glue at home & never know if that was a good call.
Mvisor: Performant and stable mini x86 hypervisor
I used to really struggle with memory leaks in C++, until smart pointers came along. I think the only leak I've investigated since then wound up being an actual bug in the MSVC standard library.

OS handles and such are still an issue, but you can wrap them too. Thank goodness for RAII, a fantastic reason to use C++ even if you're otherwise writing C-like code.
In terms of art, population tends to put value not on the result, but origin and process. People will just look down on any art that’s AI generated in a couple of years when it becomes ubiquitous.
Ah, I hadn't seen Adler's comment before. I did most of my work on this before he posted that comment. His scheme is probably more efficient than mine (he is Mark Adler, after all), but I'd have to run it on the same set of positions to know for sure.

You figured out how I'm representing the position correctly, but I'm only storing one half-move per position, specifically the current player's best move. I use that for the "Show hint" feature.
Much closer to 100% IME. I think I've seen a mobile terminal once, in an airport restaurant.
Reproduced to what fidelity? 100%?

If OpenAI's output reproduces a copyrighted image with one pixel changed, is that valid in your view? Where does the line end?

Copyrighted material should never be used for nonacademic language models. "Garbage in, garbage out." All results are tainted.

"But being forced to use non-copyrighted works will only slow things down!"

Maybe that's a good thing, too. Copyright is something every industry has to accept and deal with -- LLMs don't get a "cool tech, do whatever" get-out-of-jail free card.
Few people are claiming that the AI itself has the same rights as a human. They are arguing that a human with an AI has the same rights as a human who doesn't have an AI.
Again, who gives a shit what Bush thinks in 2024? He served whatever role he was elected for with whichever result, and the world moved on. Whatever Bush now thinks is wholly irrelevant because what happened as a result of his input on policy has already happened.
So you cannot train your drawing skills by copying other people's artworks?
Probably because some people find it funny.
FWIW, I vote heavily against full mobile ordering. The more I have to do on my phone the worse it is.

Things that admittedly make this worse:

- Using an older phone.

- Not saving credit cards to your phone.

It's just slow and clunky, and -- it feels like work.

I don't want to file a JIRA ticket to get my appetizer. I don't want to fill out a form. I just want to sit down and tell somebody.

Another way to look at this is that it's the "self checkout" version of dining out. Self checkout is slow, because it's different at every store, and you will never be as fast as a cashier who has some practice with their particular system. Same deal here.
For example in accounts on image sites that are exposed to suspected scrapers but not to others. Scrapers will still see the real data, but they'll also run into stuff designed to mix up the training process.
Copyright owners indeed. That's what these artists are. They're copyright owners. Monopolists. They are the capital. Capitalism is all about owning property. Copyright is intellectual property. Literally imaginary property. Ownership of information, of bits, of numbers. These artists are the literal epitome of capitalism. They enjoy state granted monopolies that last multiple human lifetimes. We'll be long dead before their works enter the public domain. They want it to be this way. They want eternal rent seeking for themselves and their descendants. At least one artist has told me exactly that in discussions here on HN. They think it's fair.

They are the quintessential representation of capital. And they come here to ask us to "resist" the other forms of capital on principle.

I'm sorry but... No. I'm gonna resist them instead. It's my sincere hope that this AI technology hammers in the last nails on the coffin of copyright and intellectual property as a whole. I want all the models to leak so that it becomes literally impossible to get rid of this technology no matter how much they hate it. I want it to progress so that we can run it on our own machines, so that it'll be so ubiquitous it can't be censored or banned no matter how much they lobby for it.
The average human can’t do much of anything while sitting at a computer. I agree with GP that these conversations are tiresome because besides exploration and curiosity, it’s not obvious why we’d practically want to replicate AGI. There are billions of humans out there, and—not to devalue them—most of them don’t have commercially valuable skills in 2024. What I want are specialty AIs that will help me solve commercially interesting problems, and these AIs will little resemble human intelligence.
> circuses (the internet)

According to a Russian resident I follow on social media, over the last 2 years Russians improved their localized circuses: VK, mail.ru, etc. The guy says these are now somewhat close to the originals i.e. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.
Mark Zuckerberg’s new goal is creating artificial general intelligence - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39045153 - Jan 2024 (335 comments)
Having an agenda isn't necessarily bad in and of itself. Wanting to maximize eyeballs or clicks is an incentive problem that can be addressed.
I think I'm just getting older and the more they try to push stuff on me as "we own it, and you pay us to borrow it" the less I'm interested in participating. Apple store/hardware is kind of my last hold out on this front. I still use it as my daily driver but use linux more and more than just getting work done. I generally play old consoles/pc games, have an older car I can work on easily (thanks dad/mom) even though I could afford something newer, use FOSS software whenever I can practically, buy dumb appliances, etc. It's as if we quit valuing simplicity and ownership as a society or manufacturers are just slipping it in more and more like a slow boil? We seem to be adding complexity and extra steps without any pragmatic advantage other than more money for corps. I'm not sure.
Do you know of any entity other than the Norwegian government who issues NKR?
Yes, it is this -- and what the sibling comment says.

It's clear that at least these things have changed:

1) there is now independence from the "old smartphone processor" model

Because the RP1 allows them to take control of the very bits of the puzzle that the Pi pioneered and apply them more broadly (including to x86 hardware if they chose to; they clearly did this in the development process)

2) nothing in particular stops them selling the RP1 as-is (except that they are not going to).

There have been some interesting allusions very recently as to what the success of the RP2040 and the RP1 might mean for a future microcontroller lineup, but my guess would be a mid-sized processor optimised for very small educational computers and emulating larger machines.

I would expect to see an RP2040 successor board based around something like the RP1 with USB-C and more concessions towards DVI/HDMI for one thing.

3) they now don't have all their eggs in the one basket (which is better for the foundation)

4) they could now choose a "partnership" model where something like the RP1 turns up in other people's hardware; there are already SBCs on the market using RP2040s for GPIO. [1,2]

Essentially, what has happened is not an incremental change. It's not even particularly incremental in the Pi 5, which is architecturally new.

It is a step change on the design level but also on the business level.

You’re saying that ICE cars don’t have issues at -40C? I can’t possibly take this to be good faith in any way. And any evidence I could provide you will claim that they are “poorly maintained”. No thanks, I’ve got better things to do.
One thing I've gotten used to over the years is Linux complaining that some part of the machine's EFI is buggy no matter what machine it is installed on. Apparently it's just too complicated for hardware manufacturers to get right. I also feel like there is far too much duplicated effort in the industry with everybody making their own version that is slightly buggy in a unique way.
There was no danger to life in this scenario. It’s not for the car to figure out how to “not do this”, it’s for you.
You can do it in private, but you can’t distribute the resulting image, let alone sell it.
> But we know - no one will even propose implementing such an email because it will be loss for the company. So that would be action for government to enforce.

Doesn't this just add another hull to the titanic? People don't have 2 minutes to check their bank statements a month, but do have time to check their email regularly enough to catch this? I can't tell who this is for that would be strong enough to require governments to get involved.
I love curated checkmate training, and I would disagree with the other posters. I would in fact recommend you don't make the training "random", but keep them in line with the book. Presumably, like Polgar Mates, there's a sequence to it.

The main thing I'd recommend is having illegal moves do nothing, and make drag and drop more clear. The "floating ghost piece" is actually not the cursor, and that's kinda not very nice UX. You might try a "click to place" technique instead of drag & drop.

Is this book out of copyright now?
Use a feather and you're a romantic. Use a chicken and suddenly you're a deviant.
Sure, but manufacturers -- as we should well know by now -- don't particularly care about that.

And for a device like this -- a rare one where it seems they sold it without any kind of online subscription service -- their goal is to sell units, and telling people they'll have to cut holes in their walls and run wires (for most people this probably means hiring someone) is certainly going to sell fewer units.
There may an opportunity for a startup to authenticate law enforcement, like a specialized version of id.me.
All of these factors are true in other countries where the prices are set nationally.
How old is that info? We’re using it, and it is buttery smooth on both phone platforms.
IIRC, Reinfeld's book groups the positions by theme. If you click the dice, it will show you a random position from the set, so that should give you a different theme most of the time.
I'm happy to use heuristics, but Victorian England also included uncomfortable starched collars and crinolines; having yourself mummified is not a great deviation.

Fortunately you and I live in an age where we dispose of each other's dead meat by incinerating it, which is absolutely sane and logical.

Thinking should always be automatically suspect. Wetware isn't very good at it. That's why heuristics are a good idea: if we reason about whether or not someone's opus is correct, we can end up confidently wrong.
A related note, PostgreSQL is very good at joins, but MySQL - with at the time much larger share - was never very good at them (at the time). (I last explored this 2016 and before). But a lot of web interfaces to data exploration (then) were based on MySQL and its quirks, and that colours perspectives a lot.
Not sure how your backing into another vehicle gives you "zero" confidence in emergency breaking systems meant for entirely different situations

My understanding is spies are mostly compromised nationals as opposed to foreigners trying to blend in.
Huh my experience is the total opposite. I try to download my Spotify playlists from YouTube Music because its easier but half the stuff isn't there or incorrect versions etc.
I would argue it would need a will of its own to be human level AI. Any intelligent human will come up with many things to work toward to improve their lives and the lives of others.
> It's not hard for an image to be both factually correct/unaltered, and yet giving a distorted view of reality. Cropping out parts, leaving out some bigger, non-visible contexts, such distortions can be really easy to miss, too.

In some contexts, that's true, especially if the taker has full autonomy on how the photo/video is taken, and how the story is told.

But there are other contexts (fixed cameras like CCTV, videotaped performances for auditions, a footage that includes the complete process of a car crash, etc.) in which this is not a thing. Faking it would require editing visible content, which is made way easier than before by machine learning, and ultimately reduced their value as evidence.

I'm not sure I particularly want to go back to the time when evidence like these didn't exist.
I might be confused, but cooking oil is still quite commonly sold in cans in many countries ? I bet there must be some in the US too if you are there ?

If you're writing a library, you're not writing a program.

If you write a C library, it is a good practice to leave the allocations to the library user, or at least provide a way to override the library's allocator. Allowing your user to write a free-less *program*.
They obviously shouldn’t.
I agree. Had IBM FOSS’ed the client, there would have been no web, or at least not without a lot of alternate history.
I was thinking one reason Yann LeCun would make such a terrible analogy is because he knows something the rest of us don't.

Regular superglue can produce heat when applied to skin, to the point of thermal burn. Medical glue is safe in this regard.

Emotions? Motivations? Self awareness?

To really reach another level of intelligence I think these are required. If I met a humanoid with zero of these, and I mean zero... I would wonder what's "intelligent" about that creature.

I'd argue these come from our basic human needs, which ultimately come from a desire to survive (or pass on genes).

I'm curious how general AI will behave with some yet unknown natural selection pressures, of sorts.
Anti-DDoS HTTP Throttling of Extension-Originated Requests
These are too complex and expensive for consumer use now and for the foreseeable future. However there is an important application where these may end up being key: teleoperation of robot hands to produce training data for neural nets.

We will probably need millions of hours of data of robots doing everyday tasks to train our neural net models. Collecting that data might mean humans puppeteering robots very precisely but also very quickly. Without haptic gloves, human operators would be attempting tasks with no sense of touch at all, and their movements would be unnatural and inefficient, ultimately resulting in the trained robot moving inefficiently too.

Tesla has a motion capture suit that can be seen here: https://youtu.be/XiQkeWOFwmk?t=33 In this video they aren't doing teleoperation but in this other video demonstrating teleoperation you can briefly see a hand in the bottom right corner which looks like it could be wearing a haptic glove: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1746964887949934958
Do you research who wrote a politician's speech, for example? What is the outcome you want to achieve with such regulation?
Can you provide details? I’ve not heard any concern about the readiness of US weapons, but have heard a lot since the Ukraine war about the poor state of Russian military equipment.
Yeah I mean there’s nothing wrong with getting each call of duty or each assassins creed.

Some of my favorite gaming memories are from the AC series.

I get every Pokémon game even though they’ve been awful for a while now, but the fact that it’s Pokémon is enough for me.

OP was asking how ubisoft stays in business, and that’s how. People just really like AC and get each game.
Copyright is decided by the courts, it's a legal thing not some a biological.
If the courts decide it's legal it will be.
That’s assuming each byte and/or line item is a new allocation rather than reusing already allocated memory for lines that have already been parsed.

Plus not every utility needs to consider large file usage. Eg a date/time formatter.

To be clear, I’m not advocating that people shouldn’t free. Just saying things aren’t always black and white.

A great example of this is one of Americas missile guidance systems famously has a memory leak. But it runs out of memory after its maximum range anyway. So the memory leak doesn’t affect the performance of the missile in any scenario.

Technology is often nuanced.
> Yew would have been thrown out of office in a week and some "coup" would have been organized if some big foreign power has special interests in the area and wanted him gone.

There was significant interest from foreign powers doing just that, look up Operation Coldstore and the history of communist insurgency in Singapore.
I never really got graphql until I stumbled upon Wundergraph. (https://github.com/wundergraph/wundergraph). I have no affiliation with them except that I have been building an app with it. I'm honestly puzzled how it's not more popular. Maybe people are solving these problems in other ways? But I tried out a bunch of stuff: Vapor, Supabase, Hasura, firebase, nhost, etc. None of it simplifies building complex systems the way WG does.

Once I ship I plan to put together a nice sample repo talking about why I like it, but you can see the WIP here of how I use WG to build a system with (potentially) multiple databases being consumed in a type safe manner from my ios app, nextjs app (and anything else)

There's no need for that to be done on the camera then. John's photo manager can just add a PGP signature from his laptop. Except in practice this isn't needed. The fact that it was posted by John on the AP website is enough proof

'Tru64' would likely date this as being after Altavista's hayday, when it'd still have been called 'DEC Unix', or more usually 'OSF/1' if you were differentiating from Ultrix.
